  2. The fizzing will occur strongly in test tube A, in which hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added. This is because HCl is a stronger acid than CH₃COOH and therefore produces hydrogen gas at a faster speed due to which fizzing occurs.

  4. Acids do not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water because the dissociation of hydrogen ions (𝐻+) from an acid occurs in the presence of water only. It is the hydrogen ions (𝐻+) that are responsible for the acidic behaviour. For more answers visit to website: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncRead more

  5. Distilled water is a pure form of water not containing any ionic species. Therefore, it does not conduct electricity. Rain water, being an impure form of water, contains many ionic species (dissolved in air) such as acids and therefore it conducts electricity. For more answers visit to website: httpRead more
