You can do some thing to find out, but you haven't supplied enough information me to give you a reasonable answer.
1) Is it organic or inorganic?
2) Can you take a melting point?
3) How pure is it?
4) Can you recrystallize it if it is not pure and get an accurate melting point.
5) From the mp you should be able to narrow down the acid to a list of possibility from the CRC handbook (knowing the density will also help you narrow your choice).
6) Can you run and IR spectrum, and compare to a known spectrum from you list of possiblities?
