Aqueous solutions of HCl, HNO3 and H2SO4, etc. show acidic character while those of the compounds like ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) and glucose (C6H12O6) fail to do so. Explain.

All the listed acids have replaceable hydrogen atoms which they release in aqueous solution as hydrogen ions. Therefore, they show acidic character. However, both ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) and glucose (C6H12O6) do not undergo dissociation in aqueous solution. That’s why they do not conduct electricity in aqueous solution.
