Question

(ii) dry hydrogen chloride gas does not turn blue litmus red whereas dilute hydrochloric acid does.

Answer 1

acidity is due to the ability of giving H+ ions . H+ ions are formed only when hydrogen ions combine with water molecules.

so dilute HCL turns blue litmus red and on the other hand, as dry HCL can't form ions do not turn blue litmus red.

Hope the answer helps you
