Answer:
because glucose and starch do not ionise in water while sulfuric and acetic acid do ionise in water and release H+ ions which make the medium acidic

Answer:
The aqueous solution of glucose and starch does not show acidic properties but that of sulfuric acid and acetic acid do because:
- Using the Arrhenius hypothesis, which states that ions are produced when compounds like acids dissociate in water, Hydroxide ions OH are produced in water when hydrogen ions H+ bases ionize.
- Strong and weak acids are two different types of acids. Strong acids, as opposed to weak acids, totally dissociate or ionize in water.
- are the only strong acids; all other acids are weak acids.
- Sulfuric acid exhibits acidic qualities due to its strength, however, glucose does not entirely ionize due to its mild acidity.
- Starch can be neutral or a base.
- While acetic and sulfuric acids ionize in water and produce H+ ions that make the medium acidic, glucose and starch do not.
