1. why does HCL , HNO3 , etc . shows acidic character in aqueous solutions. While solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character ?
points for my friends.

Answer:
Strength of an acid depends on the ability of the compound to donate, when a compound can donate a proton easily, it is a strong acid. Both hydrochloric and nitric acid increase the number of protons in the solution. Therefore, we can say that it shows acidic character in aqueous solutions.
Answer:
Acids are substances that produce hydrogen ions as they dissociate with water. As some compounds dissociate in aqueous solution, hydrogen ions are produced, giving them an acidic character. The release of the H+ ion in water determines whether a compound is acidic or non-acidic.
HCl → H+ + Cl–
HNO3 → H+ + NO3–
While compounds like glucose and alcohol contain hydrogen, they do not have an acidic nature. The hydrogen in them does not separate as easily as the hydrogen in acids. When they dissolve in water, they will not separate into hydrogen ions.
