CO2 is neither... however dissolved in water it acts as an acid... http://sciencehack.com/videos/view/nGZ8j2wHUrs

Hey ty, in ketoacidosis the pt has too much acud in the body---so when they are blowing of CO2 isn't it an acid at that point due to it building up in the lungs or does it stay CO2
I sucked at pH testing

There are two examples of indicator chemicals that I can give you off by heart. One is called 'Universal Indicator' and another example is 'Hydrion Paper'.

litmus paper is one and whatever the other people said but CO2 is not a base or an acid...its air. Acids tastes bitter (citrus fruits) and bases taste sweet I think (anti freeze) I hope I somewhat correct lol

like ty says, it acts as an acid when dissolved in water (like with acid rain).
