HCl, or Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrogen Chloride, does consist of two different ions. These are H+ ions and Cl- ions. The opposite charges cause the H+ and Cl- ions to attract, creating the HCl molecule. The ionic tendency of the molecule allows it to be soluble in polar solvents, like water.

∙ 14y agoHCl is ionic and so when in water the ions split up. These are equally negatively charged and positively charged. They have the ability to carry a charge from one ion to another. This means it passes a current!

∙ 14y agoThe element chlorine does not usually conduct electricity in solution, but a salt resulting from reaction of chlorine with a metal often forms a conducting solution in water, in which chloride anions, with formula Cl-1, contribute substantially to the conductivity.

∙ 12y agoyes it is. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acids and all strong acids are strong electrolytes, meaning that when they are dissovled in water they will form Ions. There are seven strong acids. Hydrocholoric, Hydrobromic, Hydroiodic, Nitric acid, Sulfuric acid, perchloric acid and chlorous acid.... If it's not a strong acid then it is considered a weak acid such as HF or HSe. Strong bases are group one and lower group 2 elements weak acids perform resonance and make about 1% ions. None electrolytes consist of alcohols and sugars and they make NO ions.

∙ 6y agoYes. HCl, or hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, meaning the compound will dissociate into H+ and Cl- ions completely. The presence of these ions in solution make the solution electrolytic, meaning it will conduct electricity.

Does a solution of HCl contain electrolytes?
Yes. HCl is a strong electrolyte.
Do acidic and basic solutions contain ions?
Acids and bases dissociate in solution into ions. They no longer exist as molecules. The acids become H+ ions and their associated anions, and the bases become OH- ions and their associated cations. Let's look at a couple of examples. In the base sodium hydroxide, NaOH, the Na+ and OH- ions will be found in solution, and in hydrochloric acid, HCl, the H+ and Cl- ions will be found in solution.
Aqueous solution of gaseous HCl is acidic but solution of HCl gas in benzene has no acidic property?
This is because of the polarity of the solvents. Aqueous solution (H2O) is very polar and will produce H+ ions when HCL is added, thus resulting in a acidic solution. On the other hand, benzene, a nonpolar solvent will not produce H+ ions and no acidic properties.
Why HCl is called acid?
Because HCl react with bases, salts, oxides, metals, the solution has an acidic pH and HCl dissociate forming hydrogen ions, H+.
Do HCl and ferric nitrate form a precipitate?
Nope. All ions would stay in solution.
Why does the light bulb glow more brightly when electrodes are immersed in solution of HCl and NaOH then in vinegar?
The solution is conducting electricity. All of the HCl is in the form of hydronium ions and chloride ions.

What most a solution contain to conduct electricity?
A solution must contain ions, to be able to conduct electricity.
Why HCl is called acid?
Because HCl react with bases, salts, oxides, metals, the solution has an acidic pH and HCl dissociate forming hydrogen ions, H+.
HCl is what kind of acid?
A strong acid. This means it disassociates , all H(+) ions and Cl(-) ions, completely in solution(water).
Do HCl and ferric nitrate form a precipitate?
Nope. All ions would stay in solution.
Does NaOH contains H plus ions?
NaOH in pure state does not contain H+ ions but in solution state it does contain
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.
