NCERT Question 8 - Chapter 2 Class 10 - Acids, Bases and Salts

Last updated at Dec. 16, 2024 by Teachoo

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.
