Question

why does can acid show its acidic behaviour in the presence of water only?​

Answer 1

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 the acids produce hydrogen ions only in the presence of water.
