Answer 1

Answer:

see ncert textbook where you take alcohol and glucose which has 6 and 12 hydrogen respectively as an electrolyte and after passing electricity the bulb connected in the circuit does not glow which implies that it is not a good conductor of electricity

Explanation:

refer acids bases and salts ncert book class 10

Answer 2

The nails are fitted in a cork and are kept in a 100 ml beaker. Then these are connected to the two terminals of a 6 volt battery along with a bulb and a switch. Now some dilute HCl is poured in the beaker and current is allowed to pass through the circuit. The same experiment is carried out using glucose and alcohol solutions separately in place of HCl.

Observations:

The bulb glows in HCl solution only. The reason is that HCl solution dissociates into H

+

and Cl

–

ions which help to conduct electricity while glucose and alcohol solutions do not dissociate into ions and so, do not conduct electricity. That is why we find the bulb glowing in HCl solution only.
