What happens to hydrogen chloride when it is added to water and methylbenzene?

When hydrogen chloride is added to water, it forms hydrochloric acid, which is a strong acid that dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions in solution. When hydrogen chloride is added to methylbenzene, which is a non-polar solvent, they do not react as hydrogen chloride is not soluble in non-polar solvents.
