Question

Why do acidic not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water?

Answer 1

Acids cannot show acidic character in the absence of water

This is because, only in the presence of of water can acids produce ions ie H+ and anion (For eg: H+ and Cl- or H+ and NO3-)\

In the presence of water only acids can acids produce H3O+

H⁺ + H₂O -------> H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
