Question

Acids do not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water give reason

Answer 1

Answer:

Acid can only show acidic behavior in liquid state i.e. in aquous solution.

Explanation:

This is because only with presence of water they can release H+ ion which is responsible for their acidic behavior.

Answer 2

The acidic behaviour of acids is due to the presence of hydrogen ions ( H+ ions ) in them .

The acid produces hydrogen ions only in the presence of water .

So in the absence of water , an acid will

not form hydrogen ions and hence will

not show acidic behaviour .
