Question

why does HCL hn O3 show acidic character in aqueous solution while solutions of compound like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?

Answer 1

Because of this property HCl and HNO3 show acidic character in aqueous solutions. On the other hand, alcohol and glucose can not dissociate in water to form hydrogen ions. Hence, they do not show acidic character.

Answer 2

Answer:

HCL and HNO3 show acidic behavior in aqueous solutions as they dissociate in water to produce hydrogen ions while solution of glucose and alcohol do not form ions in water
