Answer:
Acid cannot show acidic behaviour in absence of water as it cannot dissociate into H+ ions in the absence of aqueous medium.
Only in water can the acid dissociate into H+ ions and show acidic properties.

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 .
