Question

activity to show that acids do not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water

Answer 1

Explanation:

The acids do not show acidic behavior in the absence of water because there is no production of ions. Acids are any inorganic or organic compounds with hydrogen atoms. Generally, all the acids are considered to be weak.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The acidic behavior of an acid is due to the presence of hydrogen ions [H+ (aq) ions] which are produced only when acids are dissolved in water. In the absence of water, acids do not produce hydrogen ions and hence do not show acidic behavior
