pH level
Check the pH level of the solution with a piece of litmus paper.
There are three major differences between strong acid/strong base and weak acid/strong base titrations. For weak acid/strong base titrations: 1. The weak-acid solution has a higher initial pH. 2. The pH rises more rapidly at the start, but less rapidly near the equivalence point. 3. The pH at the equivalence point does not equal 7.00. (should be >7) In an acid-base titration, there is a 1:1 acid:base stoichiometry, so the equivalence point is the point where the moles of titrant added equals the moles of substance initially in the solution being titrated. Therefor the strength of the acid or base should not have an affect on the quantity of base required, only on the pH of the equivalence point. The number of moles of titrant and solution will have an effect on the quantity of base required.
The concentration of an acid or base is usually given as a quantity with a unit mol dm^-3 where the mol stands for mole and dm=1/10 metre. 1 mole contains 6.022x10^23 atoms or molecules. The value representing the concentration of an acid or base shows the number of acid/base molecules found in 1dm^3 of the solution. The rest of the solution will typically be H20 molecules (water). This basically means "how strong it is".
The hypothesis of an acid-base titration is that the volume of the acid solution needed to neutralize a base solution is stoichiometrically equivalent to the volume of the base solution required to neutralize the acid. This forms the basis for determining the unknown concentration of an acid or base by titration.
When water is added to a strong acid or base, the concentration of the acid or base decreases because water dilutes the solution. This results in a less concentrated solution of the acid or base.
A buffer solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate base, which helps resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Therefore, a buffer solution contains both acid and base components.
The quantity of hydrogen ions in a solution indicates whether the solution is an acid or a base.

Base
The hypothesis of an acid-base titration is that the volume of the acid solution needed to neutralize a base solution is stoichiometrically equivalent to the volume of the base solution required to neutralize the acid. This forms the basis for determining the unknown concentration of an acid or base by titration.

An acid or base is never a single element, it is a solution, and a solution that contains H+ OR OH- in it, so oxygen is neither an acid nor base.
An acid solution has a pH under 7.A base solution has a pH over 7.
Standardizing hydrochloric solution is necessary to accurately determine its concentration. By reacting a known quantity of the solution with a standardized solution of a base, the exact concentration of the hydrochloric acid can be calculated. This is important for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of experiments and analyses that require precise concentrations of hydrochloric acid.
Oviously a base...
In solution this is an acid. Hydrochloric acid.
