Acid and Base in an aqueous solution — task. Science CBSE Homework Assignments, Class 10.

1. 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?

In water, \(HCl\) and \(HNO_3\) dissociate to form hydroxyl or hydronium ions.
\(HCl\) and \(HNO_3\) dissociate to form hydroxyl or hydrogen ions.
Hydrogen in glucose and alcohol do not dissociate in water to form hydrogen ions.
Hydrogen in glucose and alcohol do not dissociate in water to form hydroxyl ions.
In water, \(HCl\) and \(HNO_3\) dissociate to form hydrogen or hydronium ions.
Hydrogen in glucose and alcohol do not dissociate in water to form hydrogen or hydroxyl ions.

2. Why does an aqueous solution of an acid conduct electricity?

Aqueous solution of acids produce hydroxyl or hydronium ions, which conduct electricity.
In an aqueous solution, acids produce hydrogen or hydronium ions, which conduct electricity.
