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

An organic compound contains 69.77% carbon, 11.63% hydrogen and the rest is oxygen. The molecular mass of the compound is 86u. The compound does not reduce Tollens reagent but reacts with Brady's reagent to give yellow precipitate. On vigorous oxidation the molecule produces ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. The compound also shows iodoform test. Identify and name the compound and write the reactions.

An optically active amide (A)C_5H_(11)NO on acid hydrolysis gives an acid and NH_3 . When (A) is treated with bromide and alkali a compound is obtained which one treatment with nitrous acid gives an optically active alcohol and nitrogen. The alcohol gives positive iodoform test. What is the structure of A and show the reactions involved.

An organic compound has the molecular formula C_5H_(10)O . The compound does not reduce Tollen's reagent but reacts with Brady's re-agent to give orange precipitate. On vigorous Oxidation, the molecule produces ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. The com-pound also gives iodoform test. Identify the compound and write equations for chemical reactions involved.

Describe the folloiwng conversions in not more than two steps: Benzoic acid to m-nitrobenzyl alcohol

An organic compound contains A(C_7H_5N) on hydrolysis with strong aqueous acid gives another compound B which is a monobasic aromatic carboxylic acid. The compound B on treatment with ammonia gives a salt which on heating gives C. The compound C undergoes Hofmann's bromamide reaction to yield aniline. Name A, B and C and write the chemical reactions involved.

An organic compound (A) (molecular formula, C_4H_8O_2 ) was hydrolysed with dilute H_2SO_4 to give a carboxylic acid (B) and alcohol (C ). Oxidation of (C ) with chromic acid produced (B). Write possible structures of (A), (B) and (C ) and give their IUPAC name. Write the chemical equations involved in the process.

Why do HCl, HNO_3 , etc. show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?

STATE WHETHER THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT ARE TRUE OR FALSE : All hydrogen containing compounds are acidic.
