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

Question 8. Why do acids not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water?
Answer:
 The acidic behaviour of a substance is due to the presence of H+(aq) ions. As acids do not dissociate to produce H+(aq) ions in the absence of water so they do not show acidic behaviour.
