Question

Compounds like alcohol glucose also contain hydrogen but are not categorised as acid describe an activity to prove it

Answer 1

they are categorised as acids as the compounds they are made from are generally acidic.

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.
