Answer 2

Answer:

Dry HCL does not change the colour of litmus paper because water is required for the formation of hydronium ion which is responsible for the colour change of litmus paper. Since there is no water in this case,formation of hydronium ion won't take place and no change would be observed on litmus paper .
