Why is liquid HCL a poor conductor of electricity?
For the conductance of electricity through chemical substances there must be free ions, and HCl gas do not have any free ions, though when it is in water it is in its ionic form and conducts electricity.
Calculate 0.5 M HCL?
Pure HCl is 36.5 mwt so 0.5M would be 18.25 g pure HCl. In practice HCl is not pure but supplied at 36.5 % HCl typically.
What is the only positive ion present in the solution when HCL is dissolved in water?
since HCL has 2 ions: H+ and Cl- i think the only positive ion present would be H+: that would make sense, but im not positive on that
Is HCl a pure substance?
HCl is a pure substance because it is a compound. Pure substances consist of elements and compounds.
Why is HCl predominantly covalent in gaseous state but is ionic in aqueous solution?
HCl is a polar covalent compound. When it is dissolved in Polar solvent H2O, it is ionized into its constituent ions H+ & Cl-. But when it is present gaseous form then it remains as Covalent compound HCl.

Which common ions are present in an aqueous solution of HCl and common salt?
Common salt is NaCl. The common ion in Nacl and HCl is chlorine (Cl).

Is Hydrochloricacid a ionic bond or covalentbond?
The pure compound HCl has a covalent bond, but when dissolved in water or some other solvents, HCl dissociates into ions. It is still not considered to have a ionic bond, however, because the ions formed by dissociation in a solution have no continuous particular neighboring ions, since all the ions are moving about within the entire solution volume.
Why does HCl gas not conduct electricity when dissolved in toluene?
In order for a mixture to conduct electricity ions must be present. HCl dose not ionize in toluene because toluene is nonpolar.

Why does dry HCL gas not act like an acid?
Because water is not present. Most of the time the word "acid" means something dissolved in water that produces H3O ions. The "H" of Hcl will not form H3O without water, it is the H3O ions that give acids their charteristic behavior.
What happens to HCl when it is put in water?
It dissociates into ions by this equation: HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl-
Hcl can be a liquid?
YES.
Why NaOH and HCL were added in liquid-liquid extraction experiment and please write the equation?
HCL to acidify the mixture
