How are halide ions formed in an aqueous solution of acid

Open in App

Solution

Dear student

A halogen atom which has a negative charge is called a halide ion.
When an aqueous solution of an acid is taken like HCl, or HF, or HBr , then the following reaction takes place leading to formation of hydronium ion and halide ion.

HCl + H₂O $\to$ H3O⁺ + Cl^-
HF +H₂O $\to$ H₃O⁺ + F^-
