The acidic behaviour of acid is due to the presence of hydrogen ions. The acids will not show itsacidic behaviour in the absence of water, this is because the acidsproduce hydrogen ions only in the presence of water.

Answer:The acidity of a terminal alkyne is due to the high level of s character in the sp hybrid orbital, which bonds with the s orbital of the hydrogen atom to form a single covalent bond. The high level of s character in an sp‐hybridized carbon causes the overlap region of the σ bond to shift much closer to the carbon atom.
