Question

Assertion (A): The organic compounds such as C6H12O6 and C2H5OH contain hydrogen but they do not conduct electricity in the water.
Reason(R): Acids produce H30+ ions in the solutions.​

Answer 1

Answer:

reason is not true for the assertion

Explanation:

Few organic compounds containing hydrogen such as glucose and alcohol do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into hydronium ion

Answer 2

The Assertion (A) and Reason (R) both are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

→ Acids contain hydrogen atoms and acids dissolve in an aqueous solution to form H₃O⁺ ions which help to conduct the electricity through water. For example, Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissolves in the aqueous solution to give H₃O⁺ ions:

                           HCl (aq.) + H₂O → H₃O⁺(aq.) + Cl⁻(aq.)

This H₃O⁺ ion formed helps in conducting the electricity through water.

→ The organic compounds such as C₆H₁₂O₆ and C₂H₅OH do contain hydrogen but they do not conduct electricity in the water because C₆H₁₂O₆ and C₂H₅OH are non-acidic in nature and hence they do not produce any H₃O⁺ ions in an aqueous solution.

→ C₆H₁₂O₆ and C₂H₅OH being non-acidic in nature do not conduct electricity in the water.

Hence the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) both are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
