Acids and bases are related by the pH scale (which ranges from 0-14), but that's essentially where the similarities end. Acids are numbers below 7 on the pH scale, and bases are those above 7. Anything at 7 is considered neutral and is neither basic nor acidic. 0 is extremely acidic and 14 is extremely basic. Acids are generally considered harmful, and become more potent the lower you go on the pH scale - for example, an acid with a pH of 3 is more acidic than one with a pH of 5. Bases are usually safe to handle, and become more "basic" the farther away from 7 you get. For example, a base with a pH of 11 is more basic than one with a pH of 8. Pure water has a pH of 7 and is therefore neutral.
Does this help? I can go into more detail if you want, but it can get sort of complicated.
becase the acid will turn red and the alkile will turn purple
Acid base titration involves neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. whereas redox titration involves redox reaction between an oxidizing agent and reducing agent.
Reactivity depends on into which foreign mixture an acid or base is mixed. The further the difference of pH values between the acid or base and the new system into which the acid or base is added, the greater will be the resultant reactivity.
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.
Acid compounds will donate hydrogen ions and base compounds will accept hydrogen ions.
Yes, because it shows you the difference between an acid or a base. An of course its both an acid and 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.

Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base; this reaction is called neutralization reaction.

An acid produces H+ ions when they are put in water. A base produces OH- ions when they are put in water.
