Question

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

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{black}{pink}{Answer}}$

The acidic behaviour of acid is due to the presence of hydrogen ions. The acids will not show its acidic behaviour in the absence of water, this is because acids do not dissociate to produce H+(aq) ions in the absence of water

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU DEAR

Answer 2

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 .
