Question

why do HCI,HNO3 etc show acidic character in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?(NOTE:- Please give short and easy answer)​

Answer 1

Answer:

HCl and and HNO3 show acidic behaviour in aq solution as they dissosciate in water to produce Hydrogen ions while solution of glucose and alcohol do not form ions in water.

Answer 2

The acidic character of a substance is due to the presence of hydrogen ions [H* (aq) ions] in its solution (water solution). HCl and HNO3 show acidic properties because they produce hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. The solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character because they do not ionise (or dissociate) in water to produce hydrogen ions. aqueous
