Question

Which of the following will not give H+ ions in aqueous solution



H2CO3

(COOH)2

C2H5OH

CH3COOH

​

Answer 1

Answer:

C2H5OH

Explanation:

Acids give H+ ions in aqueous solutions and bases do not.

As C2H5OH is a base ,it is the answer.

Answer 2

$C_2H_5OH$ will not give H+ ions in aqueous solution.

• Acids give hydrogen ion in aqueous solution and bases give hydroxyl ion in aqueous solution.
• $H_2CO_3$ is an acid and give hydrogen ion in aqueous solution.
• $(COOH)_2$ is an acid and give hydrogen ion in aqueous solution.
• $CH_3COOH$ is an acid and give hydrogen ion in aqueous solution.
• $C_2H_5OH$ is a base and give hydroxyl ion in aqueous solution.
