Solution

Question . Why does dry HCl gas not change the colour of the dry litmus paper?

Answer:
The colour of litmus paper changes only in the presence of ions like hydrogen (H+) or hydronium (H3O+) ions. HCl can produce these ions only in the form of aqueous solution. Hence dry HCl gas does not change the colour of dry litmus paper
