Question

is glucose solution acidic or base ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acidity of Glucose

Glucose is more acidic than simple alcohols with a pKa of about 12 (Ka = 10-12).

Answer 2

Explanation:

Glucose is more acidic than simple alcohols with a pKa of about 12 (Ka = 10-12). Compare this to methanol with a pKa of 15.5 (Ka = 10-15.5). The electronegative oxygen atoms in the molecule pull electron density away from the carbon atom bearing the negatively charged oxygen in the conjugate base, stabilizing it.
