Answer to Question #94726 in General Chemistry for Abigail

Question

describe how the procedure you would use for the identification if three difference liquid namely,diluted acid .distilled.water and alkaline solution are poured into three identical unlaballed bottles..

Answer 1

I would try some really obvious procedure i.e. acid-base indicator. I will take a drop of each liquid (with a pipette) and put it on a universal indicator paper: an acid will turn its color on red, water will not turn color and a base will turn color on violet. In this way everything about these liquids will be clear.
