The apparatus is set as shown in figure. Solutions glucose is added and the switch is turned on. The bulb is not glow. This means glucose does not dissociate into ions on dissociation. So, glucose is not an acid. Similarly alcohol is also not an acid.

Compounds such as alcohols and glucose also contain hydrogen but are not categorised as acids, describe an activity to prove it:

State reasons for the following: alcohol and glucose also contain hydrogen, but do not conduct electricity.

Phosphorus forms a variety of oxyacids. In all these, phosphorus is sp^3 hybridised and is tetrahedrally bonded to four neighbouring atoms. These contain P-OH bonds, the hydrogen of which are ionisable giving acidic character to these compounds. These also contain P-H bonds in which hydrogens are notionisable because P and H have nearly same electronegativity. The presence of P-H group in these oxyacids is responsible for their reducing properties. The structures of some oxyacids are given below : Answer the following (1 to 7) questions : The oxyacid of P having tetrabasicity is

An organic compound A with molecular formula C_8H_8O gives positive DNP and iodoform tests. It does not reduce Tollen’s or Fehling’s reagent and does not decolourise bromine water also. On oxidation with chromic acid (H_2CrO_4) , it gives a carboxy acid (B) with molecular formula C_7H_6O_2 . Deduce the structure of A and B.

Find the empirical formula of a compound containing 17.7% hydrogen and 82.3% nitrogen.

An element A burns with golden flame in air. It reacts with another element B, atomic number 17 to give a product C. An aqueous a solution of product C on electrolysis gives a compound D and liberates hydrogen. Identify A,B,C or D. Also write down the equations for the reaction involved.
