Why is HCl soluble in water?

Answer 1

Yes, water will completely dissolve HCl because HCl is a strong acid. The H+ ion is much less electronegative than the Cl- ion , so the Cl- ion pulls electrons towards itself in the chemical bond, and becomes very slightly negative. As a result, the H+ ion becomes slightly positive. Water is then able to "pull apart" the HCl because 0 is more electronegative than the Hs. The H+s from the HCl are attracted to the negative O of the water, and the Cl- from the HCl are attracted to the positive Hs of the water.

Answer 2

HCl is soluble in water because it is a polar molecule with a high electronegativity difference between hydrogen and chlorine. This results in strong dipole-dipole interactions between HCl and water molecules, allowing them to mix and dissolve easily.

Answer 3

The answer is "yes; HCl will dissociate in water". The simple explanation for this process is because HCl is aqueous. Thus, it's cations and its anions seperate when in water. This is the exact defintion of "dissociation".

Answer 4

because it has more concentration of h+ ions, and in soluble in nature.

Answer 5

H20 readily dissolves HCl acid into an H+ ion and a Cl- ion. The H+ ion attaches to H20 forming H30+. This occurs due to the dipole-dipole action of water.

Answer 6

HCl dissolves in water on dissociating into its constituting ions.

Answer 7

Hydrogen chloride is easily dissolved in water.
