    Two nails are fitted on a cork and are kept it in a 100 mL beaker. The nails are then connected to the two terminals of a 6-volt battery through a bulb and a switch. Some dilute HCl is poured in the beaker and the current is switched on. The same experiment is then performed with glucose solution and alcohol solution.
    Observations
    It will be observed that the bulb g lows in the HCl solution and does not g low in the glucose 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 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, though alcohols and glucose contain hydrogen, they are not categorised as acids.

  4. (b) 𝐻𝐶𝑙 The crushed egg-shells contains calcium carbonate [CaCO₃]. When 𝐻𝐶𝑙 solution reacts with this crushed egg-shells and produces carbon dioxide which turns lime – water milky.
