How can you tell if a compound is an acid or base?

An aqueous solution of hydroiodic acid is standardized by titration with a 0.186 m solution of calcium hydroxide. if 26.5 ml of base are required to neutralize 20.3 ml of the acid, what is the molarity of the hydroiodic acid solution? m hydroiodic acid

Does anyone know a lot about how to: - calculate mass of magnesium metal - calculate the actual yield of magnesium oxide - calculate the theoretical yield of mgo - calculate the percent yield of mgo - determine the percent yield of mgo - determine the average percent yield of mgo i had to do an online lab and its asking these questions but i have no idea where to start or how to be able to find these things. i can post the chart of the data from the lab or if you can tell me exactly how i can find each.
