Answer: There are certain substances which give different smell in acidic and basic solutions. These are known as olfactory indicators. For example, onion, vanilla and clove oil etc. All of them have characteristic odours and we are all quite familiar with them. These change when some acid or base solution is brought in their contact and can be identified. However, the results in this case are not quite satisfactory. Only some guess can be made about the nature of the substance weather acid or base.
