Observations- It will be observed that the bulb glows in the HCl solution and does not glow in the glucose solution and alcohol solution. Result- HCl dissociates into H+and Cl−ions. These ions conduct electricity in the solution resulting in the glowing of the bulb. On the other hand, the glucose and alcohol solution does not dissociate into ions. Therefore, it does not conduct electricity.
Conclusion- From this activity, it can be concluded that all acids contain hydrogen but not all compounds containing hydrogen are acids. That is why, although alcohols and glucose contain hydrogen, they are not categorised as acids.
