(a) Hydrochloric acid HCl + H₂O 🡪

Open in App

Solution

When an acid is added to water, it will dissociate into its ions and produce H⁺ ions.
The H⁺ ions combine with water and form hydronium ions (H₃O⁺).
Hydrochloric acid on hydrolysis produce H₃O⁺ ions and chloride (Cl^-) ions.
The chemical equation for the given reaction is as follows:
HCl + H₂O 🡪 H₃O⁺ + Cl^-
hydrochloric acid water hydronium ion chloride
