Answer:
Acids don't show acidic behaviour in the absence of water because acids won't be able disconnect to produce H+(aq) ions in the absence of water. Hydrogen ions are the cause of acidic behaviour by acid...hence, the acid would not show its acidic behaviour in the absence of water...

Explanation:
Why do acids not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water?
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.
