Question

Compound such as alcohol and glucose also contain hydrogen but are hot catagrise as acid describe an activity to prove it

Answer 1

materials required :beaker, alcohol, glucose solution, cork, iron nails, a 6 volt battery, bulb, switch.
procedure :1)two iron nails are fixed on a cork and the cork is placed in a beaker as shown.
2)the nails are connected to the two terminal of a6volt battery through a bulb and a switch. 3)now some alcohol is poured in the beaker and the switch is turned on.
the same exp. is carried out again once with glucose solution and then with Hcl aqueous solution.

Answer 2

EXPLAINATION

• We know that ,in acid H+ ions completely ionize in water so that they conduct electricity.
• While compounds like alcohols and glucose partially ionises into the water.
• That why Alcohol & Glucose are not considered as acids.

ACTIVITY

• Take 3 Beakers
• Name The Beakers as A , B & C
• Take HCL in beaker A , alcohol in beaker B & glucose in beaker C
• Make a electric circuit. Connect the wire with 3 beakers.
• Beaker, in which, the bulb glows, that Beaker contain acid because acids complete disassociates into water to form H+ & OH- ions which conducts electricity.
• This activity prove that the electricity passes through completely ionised liquids are acids.
