Alcohols and glucose though contain hydrogen but do not ionise in the solution to produce H+ ions. This is proved by the fact that there solutions do not conduct electricity.
Take the solution of dilute hydrochloric solution and glucose. 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. Dilute HCl is poured in the beaker and current is switched on. Now, the Same experiment is performed with a glucose solution and an alcohol solution.
We will observe that the bulb glows in HCl solution and does not glow in the glucose solution.
Because: HCl dissociate into H + (aq) and Cl -(aq) 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 compounds like alcohols and glucose contain hydrogen, they are not categorized as acids.
