Hi there, nice to meet you again...

Your doubt : HCL and HNO3 and alcohol and glucose all contains hydrogen but only HCL and HNO3 show acidic character why?

Reason :

--- HCL, HNO3, alcohol and glucose all contains Hydrogen, I agree with that...

--- But acidic character is shown when Hydrogen ( or Hydronium ) ions are released, HCL and HNO3 do disassociate in aqueous solution and release Hydronium ions.

--- And Glucose and Alcohol don't show any acidic character because they don't release hydrogen ions at all...

--- Due to which Alcohol and Glucose are not electrically conductive too...

--- Therefore, summarising, Alcohol and Glucose in spite of having Hydrogen don't show acidic character, because they don't disassociate and release Hydrogen ( or hydronium ) ions...

NOTE POINT ::: THE ANSWER IS NOT ' pH ' :

--- While giving answer, I saw someone answering you pH as the reason...

--- but that is not true...

--- when glucose and alcohol neither acid or base so what's the use of pH?

--- pH is used when there is a comparison between acids and bases.

--- and not when comparing acids and non - acids

--- Hope you got it all correct...
