Why is uric acid called a acid?
Because it is an acid. A way to test if a material is an acid or a base is to test it with litmus if the litmus turns red then it is acid if it turn blue it is a base or alkaline. uric acid turn litmus red. making it an acid.
What will happen when an acid of low pH is combined with some base of high pH in a test tube?
when acid reacts with a base it will be a base
Is pH test paper an acid or a base?
Neither, it is neutral
What should you never do to test an acid and a base?
Never taste it.
What test can you know if it is a acid or base?
use a universal indicator or add an acid to see the results

What are the procedures of total base number test?
The Total Base Number (TBN) is determined by titration with an acid as the perchloric acid.
What test tells if something is an acid or base?
pH meter or litmus test paper.
What should you never do to test an acid and a base?
Never taste it.

How can you identify an acid and a base without carrying out a chemical test?
by using a litmus paper
How can you test a substance to see if it is an acid base or neutral?
by simply using litmus papers
How can you identify a acid and a base?
A pH test with litmus paper/solution is normally the way of finding out.
What experiment determine if a substance was an acid or a base?
Well, you could do a universal indicator test, which is the most easiest. Pink = acid. Blue = base. Or could do other versions of paper pH testers, in which the color corresponds to the particular pH. If the pH is above 7, it is a base. If it is below 7, then it is an acid. You could even use pH probes with minimal readings of 0.1, if you have any, it would be handy.But more practical methods would be with other substances. Such as with metal reactions. For example, a metal and an acid would produce a salt, with hydrogen gas. So these are some ways you could determine whether is an acid or base. =)
