The ions which impart acidic properties to an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride are:
Chloride
Hydrogen
Hydronium
Chloride and Hydrogen
The presence of hydrogen ion in HCl imparts acidic properties to an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid.
Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound while hydrogen chloride is a covalent compound. But both form ions in their aqueous solutions. Explain
Hydrogen chloride dissolves in water to form an acidic solution. (a) Name the experiment which demonstrates that hydrogen chloride is very soluble in water. (b) Give three distinct tests (apart from using an indicator) you would carry out with this solution to illustrate the typical properties of an acid.
