Question

give reasons : hcl does not give an acidic solution in benzene.

Answer 1

The nature of HCL is acidic. .so it not give an acidic solution.

Answer 2

Wh y HCl does not give an acidic solution in benzene

This is because of the polarity of the solvents.

• Aqueous solution (H2O) is very polar and will produce H+ ions when HCL is added, thus resulting in a acidic solution.

• On the other hand, benzene, a nonpolar solvent will not produce H+ ions and no acidic properties.
