Hi,

it's: HCl ---> H+ + Cl-

with state symbols this would be:

HCl(aq)--> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

(aq) means aqueaus solution.

It becomes H+ because an acid is a sour substance which can attack metal, clothing or skin. The chemical opposite of an alkali. When disolved in water, it's solution has a pH number less that 7. Acids are proton (H+ ion) donors.

I hoped this helps!
