Acid needs water so that it will fizz up like in your fizzy juices. Without water acid would just be white powder.

You can result in a answer like that, or you can use reasoning.

All liquids is measured in pH (persentage Hydrogen) so it coclude that if acid do'nt have any water, it will only be a powder and not a liquid.
