Explanation:
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...
