What does it mean if something is acidic instead of a base?
Chaoticdk
An acid is a compound that can donate protons (H+) [ie. it is a acidic compound] acids have a pH of between 1 and 6.9 (with 7 being neutral) Bases are the opposite as in a compound that can accept protons. They have a pH of 7.1 to 14

Is taco sauce an acid or base?
a common misconception that people foolishly believe is that because something is spicy that must mean its acidic. This is not true. Even though vineger is acidic, cayenne peppers are highly basic. Tabasco sauce is in fact a base. Doctors and and highly respected people have suggested to drink bottles upon bottles of tabasco red pepper sauce to reduce heartburn instead of foolishly using tums or prevacid.
Does the pH paper measure the strength of an acid or a base?
No, it tells you how acidic or basic a solution is. The closer the pH is to 1, the more acidic spomething is. The closer to 14, the more basic. 7 is neutral so there is the same amount of acid and base. So if by strength you mean how much of an acid/base there is than, yes pH will measure that. Remember, the more H+ ions, the more acidic, and the more OH- ions, the more basic.
What liquids are neither acid or base?
"Why won't anyone answer?" Probably because it's not clear what the question is supposed to mean. The general term for liquids/solutions that are neither acidic nor basic is "neutral", but that's so blindingly obvious that it seems unlikely to have been what you were looking for. Many liquids are neither acidic nor basic: alkanes (well, those that are liquid instead of solid or gaseous), for example. Pure water is another. Most alcohols (phenol being a significant exception ... it's not strongly acidic, but it's acidic enough that an alternative name for it is "carbolic acid").
How can you show that something is an acid or a base?
Its easy. You could try the Litmus paper test. Take an acidic and a basic solution in separate test tubes. Now take a litmus paper and dip it first in the acidic solution, if the litmus paper turns red, that mean the solution is acid. Now, dip it in the basic solution, if the litmus papaer turns blue that means the solution is basic.
