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!

What happens when water is added to phenolphthalein?

When water is added to phenolphthalein, the color remains the same, which is colorless. Phenolphthalein is typically used as an indicator in titrations with strong acid and strong base where the color change is triggered by changes in pH, not by the addition of water.


What happens when a strong base is added to water?

When a strong base is added to water, it ionizes to release hydroxide ions (OH-) which then react with water molecules to increase the concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution. This leads to an increase in pH, making the solution more basic.
