You would have to look at the nurk of the base and the whapple of the acid and i it is an xx and yy it would distinguish because then it dismanages it but otherwise if it is xy yx then it physicaly can't distinguish experimentally without tasting it.

Distinguish between dilute acid or base and concentrated acid or base?

Concentrated acid or base has a high amount of acid or base in a solution, usually at or near 100% concentration. Dilute acid or base has a low amount of acid or base in a solution, usually with a lower concentration. Dilute solutions are weaker and less corrosive, while concentrated solutions are stronger and more reactive.


Can a pH meter be used to distinguish between a strong acid and a weak acid?

Yes, the Ph scale determines an acid/base's concentration. 0-7 on the scale refers to an Acid, and 7-14 Basic. 7=Neutral, neutral being the weakest. The closer to 7 the weaker the acid would be.


Why do you use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base?

You use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base because it is convenient. It is easy to transport and store, it is easy to use and it is easy to the the result, which is a clear change in color.


How do you distinguish benzoic acid with methylbenzoate?

Benzoic acid is a carboxylic acid that is typically solid at room temperature and has a characteristic acidic smell. Methyl benzoate is an ester that is usually a liquid at room temperature and has a sweet, fruity odor. A chemical test like adding a base to benzoic acid to form a salt or reacting methyl benzoate with an alcohol to get back the carboxylic acid can help distinguish between the two.


Is salt an acid or a base?

Salt is neither an acid nor a base. It is a neutral compound formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.

How can I distinguish between bases and acids by methods other than using litmus paper?

there are other indicators that can be used - universal Acid-red Base-Blue Neutral-green methyl orange Acid - red Base - yellow


How can you safely determine the difference between an acid or a base?

The DIFFERENCE ?! I think you mean distinguish an acid from a base, which needs an indicator, like red cabbage solution(turns yellowish with acid, darker with base) Phenolphtaline(Turns violet with a base) Red/Blue litmus paper(RLP turns blue with a base, and BLP turns red with an acid) and finally a pH meter/paper.

Which acid and which other chemical would you use to make sodium chorlide?

Sodium chloride is formed from a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. The acid is hydrochloric acid and the other reagent would be a sodium base or a basic salt of sodium.

What are products in a reaction between an acid and a base?

The products in a reaction between an acid and a base are called salts.


What is the exact pH of acid?

Well, there really is no "exact" pH of an acid. An acid can be a certain pH, before it is considered a base, and to change an acid to a base would be called titration, but lets not get carried away. The pH of an acid can be anywhere between 0-6 on the pH scale, 7 would be neutral, and 8-14 would be considered a base.
