Let us take two compounds containing Hydrogen,
1. Glucose ( C₆H₁₂O₆)
2. Hydrochloric acid(HCl)
>Now, we have to dissolve both compounds in water
>Now, we have to place 2 graphite electrodes in glucose solution and connect them to battery. The same has to set up for dilute HCl also
>As the circuit is closed, we can see bubbles in the cathode immersed in HCl whereas we cant observe this in glucose solution
> This happens as HCl acts as an electrolyte because it produces free H+ ions when dissolved in water whereas the glucose cant produce H+ ions in water. So glucose which has hydrogen doesnt show this property of acids as it doesnt act like an electrolyte.
> This suggests that all hydrogen containing compounds are not acidic
