$\huge\boxed{\red {\bold{ANSWER}}}$

$<b><i>We can get to know about the nature of a salt whether it is acidic, basic or neutral by measuring its pH .$

This can be done through Immersing the pH paper in the aqueous solution of the salt .

Matching the colour changed with the pH scale .

If the pH comes out to be 7 ,it is neutral .

If below 7,it is acidic.

If above 7,it is basic .

Natute of salt can also be determined by using indicators like litmus .

If the blue litmus changes to red,the salt is acidic.

If there is no change in colour, salt is neutral.

If the litmus paper changes from red to blue ,solution is basic .

This can also be done using other indicators like methyl orange ,phenolphtheline, etc. or olfactory indicators like vanilla essence ,clove oil ,etc.
