Question

Why do acids not show acidic behavior in the absence of water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acids do not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water because the dissociation of hydrogen ions from anacid occurs in the presence of wateronly. It is the hydrogen ions that are responsible for the acidic behaviour.
