Question

Compound such as alcohols and glucose also contain hydrogen but are not categorsied as acids describe the an avtivity to prove it ?

Answer 1

acids taste sour and turn the blue litmus to red .this property is not found in both glucose & alcohols

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.
