प्रश्न
Why do acids not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water?
उत्तर १
Acids do not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water because the dissociation of hydrogen ions from an acid occurs only in the presence of water. It is the hydrogen ions that are responsible for the acidic behaviour.
उत्तर २
Acids ionise only in the presence of water to give ions.
\[\ce{HCl + H2O -> H3O+ + Cl-}\]
However, in the absence of water, acids do not ionise to give H3O+ ions and therefore, do not behave as acids.
