Answer 2

Let us answer it

Explanation:

Acids

Arrhenius concept : They are those substance which when dissolved in water produce hydrogen ions .

That is HA -------------> H⁺ + A⁻

                 (in water )

This H⁺ react with water to form hydronium ion :

H⁺ + H₂O ---> H₃O⁺

• The water is essential to dissociate them as they are covalent compounds they don't easily release the Hydrogen ions ,but when dissolved in water they increase the one of the ion of water obtained by its self ionization that is hydrogen ion by acid and OH⁻ by base .
• Then accordingly the number of hydrogen ions released it is called as its Basicity or can be differentiated as strong , weak acid depending upon the dissociation extent .

Like Sulphuric acid is --> dibasic

Hydrochloric acid is -> monobasic

Similarly ,

HCl --> strong acid

CH₃COOH --> weak acid

Therefore , in the above asked question it is correct that acids do not show acidic behaviour in absence of water.

Reason:all acids in pure state are covalent compounds which do not contain Hydrogen ions​
