A student passes dry hydrogen chloride gas separately over dry and moist blue indicator papers. Only the moist paper turns red. Which principle is proved?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Acidic properties appear when ions form in the presence of water.

The experiment demonstrates the role of water in producing acidic ions. Dry hydrogen chloride gas does not provide mobile H⁺ or hydronium ions to the dry indicator, so no red colour appears. On moist paper, HCl dissolves in water and ionises, forming hydronium ions; these give the acidic indicator colour. Therefore A is correct. The result does not show that HCl is basic, that dry paper is defective, or that water alone is an acid.
