Question

1. Why do HCL HINO, etc, show acidic
characters in aqueous solutions
whereas solutions of compounds like
alcohol and glucose do not show acidic
character​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because HCL and HNO3 form hydronium ion (H3O+) in aqueous solution (i.e H2O) . whereas alcohol and glucose dissolve in water by forming H-Bonding with H2O molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

HCl+ H2O -------> H3O+ +. Cl-

HNO3+ H2O-------> H3O+. +. NO3-

The cause of acidity in the solution is the formation of this hydronium ion (H3O+) only.

Answer 2

The acidic character of a substance is due to the presence of hydrogen ions [H* (aq) ions] in its solution (water solution). HCl and HNO3 show acidic properties because they produce hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. The solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character because they do not ionise (or dissociate) in water to produce hydrogen ions. aqueous
