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

$\huge \sf {\orange {\underline {\pink{\underline{Answer :-}}}}}$

The acidic behaviour of acids is due to the presence of hydrogen ions, [H+ (aq) 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 its acidic behaviour.
