Question

HCL and HNO3 acidic characteristics in aqus soln while alcohol and glucose solutions do not . give reason

Answer 1

Because in hcl and hno3 hydrogen is liberated and in alcohol h is not liberated

Answer 2

HCl and HNO3 show acidic characters in aqueous solutions because they ionise to form hydronium ions. HCl liberates H+ and cl- ions when reacted with water. HNO3 liberates H+ and NO3- ions when reacted with water. It is these hydrogen ions that give them their acidic properties. While alcohol and glucose solutions don't ionise at all.
