You can do a pH test using a pH litmus paper test strip, red cabbage pH indicator (The juice should turn pink in acidic solutions, and green in basic solutions), or similar. Also, any pH number greater than 7 is considered a base and any pH number less than 7 is considered an acid. Xo, Smartiiz.

∙ 13y agoHere are some tests that you can perform to bring out some of the characteristics of an acid:
- They will turn litmus paper red
- When added to a carbonate, one of the products will be carbon dioxide
- Then added to most metals, they will give out hydrogen
- They will neutralise an alkali, and give out heat in the process. The resulting solution will have a neutral, or lower pH, than the starting solution.
- Acids taste sour
- A base as compared to acid is thick and slippery. So if its not, then its an acid.

∙ 13y agoPH paper or litmus test is normally use to determine whether the liquid is acid, base or normal. It is the scale consist of 14 numbers. The digit 7 represents neutral liquid i.e. water. 1 indicates strongest acid and 14 indicates strongest base.

Are solutions always colourless?
This is commonly used when describing liquids. "Clear" in this context means that you can see through the liquid, so if you put a penny (for example) in a cup of this liquid, you could still see the penny. "Colourless" would mean that the liquid was the same colour as water. Clear but not always colourless means that the liquid may have a tint (so it may be blueish or greenish or some other colour) but you can still see through it.
What is the color of aluminium chloride solution?
You geek, why would you want to know that freak show
What can you see when bromine water is added to an unsaturated organic compound?
It would turn colourless.
What change would increase the amount of gas able to be dissolved in a given amount of liquid water?
Increasing pressure.
Would copper be a solid liquid or gas at 2000 degrees C?
It would be a liquid at 2000 oC.
How can you tell if a colourless liquid is an acid or an alkali?
For an acid, the solution remains colourless or unchanged. For an alkali, it would turn fuschia.

Give the name of the colourless liquid that collects in the test -tube?
The distillate
Suppose you were given an unknown liquid and asked to determine if it was an element a compound or a mixture What would you do How would this help you find out what it was?
If I was given an unknown liquid and asked to determine if it was an element, a compound, or a mixture I would heat the unknown liquid up to see if any compounds separated from the unknown liquid. After that I would get a microscope and look to see if it is a pure element. Then I would get a Platelet separation machine and put the liquid in the machine to see if the liquid separated. Thats how I would determine if the an unknown liquid is an element, a compound, or a mixture.
What equipment would you need to prove that energy is given out when an acid reacts with a carbonate?
ignited matchstick
Why is it a good job that air is odourless and colourless?
Several reasons, the first being that if air had an odour, other smells, including those that alert us to danger, would be harder to detect. Also, our sense of taste would be impaired as a valuable part of that taste is smell. this could prove dangerous if we were to eat something that we otherwise would not due to taste, and it proved toxic. As for it being colourless, if air had a colour, it would be much like fog in impairing vision. Imagine for a second that the air in front of your face was red. The air pressure would determine the depth of colour, however the distance that you could see through would always be less than it would be if colourless.
What is a colourless volatile substance and organic compound used in flavorings solvents and perfumes?
Answer.Acetone, is the colourless volatile pungent liquid, used in the manufacture of chemicals and as a solvent used for paints, varnishes and lacquer's.
What would happen if the weight of an object was less than its buoyant force?
The object would float in a given liquid.
What is the change of state called where energy is given off?
When a substance loses energy, it becomes more compact. A gas would turn to liquid and a liquid would turn to solid.
What characteristic properties would you use to identify a liquid?
Which characteristics are generally given to the atoms that make up a liquid?

What does static head mean?
"Head" is a term given to the weight and resulting pressure of a column of liquid above a given point in the system. Static head means that the head pressure is measured with no liquid actually flowing. Dynamic head would be the pressure of the liquid while it is actually flowing.
