Because water is not present. Most of the time the word "acid" means something dissolved in water that produces H3O ions. The "H" of Hcl will not form H3O without water, it is the H3O ions that give acids their charteristic behavior.

Which elements are likely to be lost by dry ashing?
Some acids like SO2 and HCl may be lost, Copper and iron, potassium salts
What is the difference between a dry cell and a voltaic cell?
Electrolyte. sulphuric acid
Why is a cell referred to as a dry cell?
There is dry cell and wet cell. A dry cell has not fluid around it. A wet cell is surrounded by fluid of some sort, usually acid.
Because it has a potential difference between the positive and negative terminals what can act as an electron pump?
dry cell
How many sulfur atoms are in battery acid?
there are 7, 2 hydrogen, 2 sulphur and 4 oxygen.Answerthat above is wrong =.=" its there are 7, 2 hydrogen, 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen...
Why dry Hcl does not change the colour of litmus paper?
acid
Is muriatic acid a dry acid?
Muratic acid is hydrogen chloride (HCl) dissolved in water and sold as a liquid
Why dry HCL is not acidic in the presence of water?
dry HCl is not ionic in nature... The litmus turns its color in the presence of acid(H+) but the dry HCl exist as the molecular compound. The water turns it into ionic therefore such happens...
Is dry HCL a solid or a gas?
Dry HCL is a gas!
If HCL is in contact with dry blue litmus paper will it change?
No: Hydrogen chloride gas, when dry, is notan acid. Without water it can not donate protons to litmus, so this will not change color.yes because HCL is a very very very strong acid and will turn blue litmus paper red
Why does dry HCl gas does not change the colour of the dry litmus paper?
Hydrogen chloride gas is not an acid, is not in solution and does not donate protons. So, no litmus paper color change.
What is 1Lt of muriatic acid equivalent to in dry acid?
Muriatic acid is a (concentrated) solution of Hydrogen chloride, which is a GAS (at STP). So it is not a liquid itself and certainly NOT a DRY solid!Properties of concentrated muriatic or hydrochloric acid (HCl in water):Density 1.18 g/cm3 at concentration (variable) value for assay 36-38% w/w
What is vaporous HCl?
Gaseous HCl in dry or humid air, can react very acidically.
How do you prepare ethereal hcl?
You drop conc. HCl into conc. H2SO4 - this releases HCl gas which you can bubble through dry ether... Or, you use an HCl cylinder.
What is dry gas of HCL?
hydrogen chloride
Why a dry blue litmus paper is not affected by hydrogen chloride gas or hcl acid?
The change of colour is due to chemical reaction. Almost all chemical reactions take place in solution. So dry litmus paper not shown any change in colour with hydrogen chloride gas. The colour changes only when the paper is dipped in water. In other word the paper is wet.Added:To be more precise:Hydrogen chloride gas, when dry, is not an acid. Without water it can not donate protons to litmus, so this will not change color
Can laptops leak battery acid?
No they use dry acid if its wet then they will leak out like a car battery.
