Solution

The correct option is C $C l^{-}$
Hydrochloric acid, HCl, starts with a proton that ends up on a water molecule, which acts as a Bronsted - Lowry base and forms hydronium ions.

HCl is a strong acid. When it donates a proton, a Cl– ion is produced, and so Cl– is the conjugate base.

Hence, option $C$ is correct.

Q. If we add 1*10^-8of HCl into pure water in the following reaction:
HCl (aq) + H₂O (l) to give H₃O⁺ (aq) + Cl^- (aq)
and assuming that volume doesn't change when HCl is added, why is H₃O⁺= HCl = 10^-8? Shouldn't it be H₃O⁺+ HCl = 10^-8 because HCl is dissolved with water?
