NCERT Question 8 - Chapter 2 Class 10 - Acids, Bases and Salts (Term 1)

Last updated at March 16, 2023 by

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

 

Answer:

In the absence of water, acids do not dissociate to produce H + ions. It is only in the presence of water, that acids dissociate and produce H + ions, which are responsible for the acidic behaviour of acids. Hence acids will not exhibit acidic behaviour in the absence of water.
