Why do HCl, HNO3 etc., show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?

Open in App

Solution

Solutions like $H C l, H N O_{3}$ etc. get ionised in aqueous solutions and due to the presence of $H^{+}$ ions they show acidic characters.

While solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not form any such ions so they do not show acidic characters.
