Question #3
Assertion (A): Dry HCl gas does not change the color of dry litmus paper. Reason (R): Acids produce H⁺ ions only in the presence of water.
A. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
B. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
C. A is false but R is true.
D. A is true but R is false.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The acidic behavior of HCl is due to the presence of H⁺ (or H₃O⁺) ions, which are generated only when it dissolves in water. Without moisture, HCl doesn't dissociate to produce H⁺, so it doesn't change the color of dry litmus. Both statements are correct and R explains A.
