Answer:
Activity:
To show that alcohols and glucose are not acids.
Materials
required: Dilute solution of ethanol and glucose solution Apparatus
required : Beaker (1), carbon electrodes (2), dry cells (2), bulb 1.5 V
(1),
Procedure:
Take a beaker and place two carbon electrodes into it. Connect the electrodes
to a battery bulb through a key and a dry cell. Pour ethanol into the beaker
and press the key. See, if the bulb glows. Bulb does not glow. Repeat similar
experiment with glucose solution. Record your observations.
Observation
: It is observed that the bulb does not glow With both the solutions.
Conclusion
: The solutions of glucose and ethanol are non-conductors of electricity.
Explanation:
Ethanol and the solution of glucose containing hydrogen in their molecules do
not conduct electricity. Therefore/ these compounds do not produce ions in
solutions.
Hence these
are not categorised as acids.
