There were three different ways of defining that.
The first is the Arrhenius definition:
An acid produces hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution and a base produces hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution.
The second is the Bronsted-Lowry definition:
An acid gives up a proton (H+) to something else and a base takes a proton from something else.
Finally is the Lewis definition:
A Lewis acid accepts a pair of electrons. A Lewis base donates a pair of electrons for bonding.
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.
An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions, a base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions, and a salt is a compound formed from the reaction between an acid and a base. Acids have a pH less than 7, bases have a pH greater than 7, and salts are typically neutral.
Salt is neither an acid nor a base. It is a neutral compound formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.
A chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base is called a neutralization reaction. In this reaction, the acid and base react to form water and a salt. It is characterized by the exchange of ions between the acid and the base.
BaF2 is neither an acid nor a base. It is a salt formed from the reaction between barium hydroxide (a base) and hydrofluoric acid (an acid).
Yes, because it shows you the difference between an acid or a base. An of course its both an acid and a base?
difference between acid base indicator and universal indicator
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.

There is no difference between lead acid accumulator and lead acid battery.
The products in a reaction between an acid and a base are called salts.
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
Salt is neither an acid nor a base. It is a neutral compound formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.
There is no clear difference between base and soap because soap is a base.
