Question

Compounds such as alcohols and glucose also contain hydrogen but are not categorized as acids. Describe an activity to prove it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Compounds like alcohol and glucose contain H but it doesn't dissociate into H^+H+ . So it is not an acid.

Activity:

Take two blue litmus paper. Dip them into glucose solution and the alcohol. You will notice that there is no change in colour of the blue litmus paper. This shows that they are not acids. 

If they were acids, then the blue litmus paper would have changed to red. 

Answer 2

                            Answer

                               

>>Alcohols and glucose contains hydrogen but not cateogrized   as acids as acidity is determined on the basis of ability of any compound to release H+ ions when mixed with water but they don't.

Explanation:

Here are some reasons to prove this,

• There is no chemical reaction between ethanol and water. However there is an interaction.
• No chemical reaction means no bond formation and dissolution,so there is no way to release H+ ions.
• Ethanol and the solution of glucose containing hydrogen in their molecules do not conduct electricity. Therefore/ these compounds do not produce ions in solutions. Hence these are not categorised as acids.
• they contain hydrogen they do not dissociate to form hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution.
