When testing an unknown solution how can you tell if it is acidic basic or neutral?

Answer 1

Simple method is to use a pH testing kit.

A more complicated method would be to perform a titration using methyl orange (or some other indicator).

Answer 2

You can use pH test strips or a pH meter to measure the pH level of the solution. A pH of 0-6 indicates acidity, 7 is neutral, and 8-14 indicates basicity. Alternatively, you can use indicators like litmus paper or phenolphthalein to determine the solution's acidity or basicity based on color change.
