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!
Is muriatic acid a dry acid?
Muratic acid is hydrogen chloride (HCl) dissolved in water and sold as a liquid
What is vaporous HCl?
Gaseous HCl in dry or humid air, can react very acidically.
What is dry gas of HCL?
hydrogen chloride
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.

Why do dry nails not rust?
Rusting of iron needs the presence of water.

Why does putting dry ice in water make the water acidic?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide or CO2. When combined with water it forms Carbonic acid with this equation CO2 + H20 -> H2CO3. This is because water often dissociates into its ions (H+ and OH-) in a solution. However this water is often not very acidic. Hope that helped!

What is dry gas of HCL?
hydrogen chloride
Why does dry HCL gas not act like an acid?
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.
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 dry Hcl does not change the colour of litmus paper?
acid
Why dry chlorine is not acidic?
For being acidic, the compound should either release H+ ions, or accept OH- ions or electrons. Dry Cl2 doesn't satisfy any of the above conditions, so it is not acidic
Consider a substance that is made of molecules that are stable when dry in the presence of water the molecules separate what type of chemical bond holds the substance together when dry?
An ionic bond.
