Question

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

Answer 1

BECAUSE IN ACIDS H+ IONS COMPLETELY IONIZE IN WATER SO THAT THEY CONDUCT ELECTRICITY. WHILE COMPOUNDS LIKE ALCOHOLS AND GLUCOSE  PARTIALLY IONISES INTO THE WATER. THIS IS THE REASON WHY THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED AS ACIDS.

ACTIVITY

• TAKE THREE BEAKERS
• NAME THE BEAKERS AS A B AND C
• TAKE HCl IN BEAKER A AND ALCOHOL IN BEAKER B AND GLUCOSE IN BEAKER C
• A WIRE IS CONNECTED IN THREE BEAKERS RESPECTIVELY
• IN WHICH BEAKER THE BULB  GLOWS THAT IS ACID BECAUSE ACIDS COMPLETE DISASSOCIATES INTO WATER TO FORM H+ AND OH- IONS WHICH CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY
• WITH THIS ACTIVITY WE CAN SAY THAT ELECTRICITY PASSES THROUGH COMPLETELY IONISED LIQUIDS THAT IS ACIDS

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.
