Why do HCl, HNO3, etc., show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?

Q. Why do HCl, HNO3, etc., show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?

HCl and HNO3 are acids that release H+ ions in water, making the solution acidic. Alcohol and glucose don’t release H+ ions, so they don’t show acidic properties. Acids have special groups that break apart in water, releasing H+ ions, while other compounds don’t have these groups.
