Compounds such as alcohols and glucose also contain hydrogen but are not categorised as acids. Describe an Activity to prove it.

Explanation

Two nails are fitted on a cork and are kept in a 100 ml beaker , The nails are then connected to the two terminals of a 6 volt battery through a bulb and a switch , Some dilute HCl is poured in the beaker and the current is switch on . The same experiment is then performed with glucose solutions and alcohol solutions.

Obeservation :- It will be observed that the bulb glows in the HCl solutions and does not glow in the glucose solutions .
Result :- HCl dissociates into `H^(+) ` and `Cl^(-) ` ions . These ions conduct electricity in the solutions resulting in the glowing of the bulb . on the other hand the glucose solutions does not dissociate into ions . Therefore it does not conduct electricity .
Conclusion:- From this activity it can be concluded that all acids contains hydrogen ions .That is why though alcohols and glucose contains hydrogen , they are not categoresed as acids.
