Answer:

•To determine whether a substance is an acid or a base, count the hydrogens on each substance before and after the reaction. If the number of hydrogens has decreased that substance is the acid (donates hydrogen ions). If the number of hydrogens has increased that substance is the base (accepts hydrogen ions).

•If the pH is lower than 7, the solution is acidic. When pH is higher than 7, the solution is basic. These numbers describe the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and increase on a negative logarithmic scale

Answer:

when dipper or rubbled on an acidic substance, blue litmus paper turns red. because of this, litmus paper can be used to identify an acid. When a base reacts with litmus paper, there is no color change.
