If the acid is a strong acid, it'll break into ions. If the acid is a weak acid, it won't break up.

For instance H2SO4 is a strong acid. In water, It'll break it into 2H+ and SO4 2-

An acid will dissociate it's H+ and whatever anion it was connected to. (ONLY IF IT IS A STRONG ACID!)

Will HCl produce an acidic solution when dissolved in water?

Yes, when hydrogen chloride (HCl) is dissolved in water, it dissociates into hydronium ions (H3O+) and chloride ions (Cl-) to produce an acidic solution.

The chemical formula for hydrochloric acid when dissolved in water is HCl.


Why doesn't chlorine produce a basic solution when dissolved in water?

Chlorine gas dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid (HCl), not a basic solution. When dissolved in water, chlorine gas reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid, which is a weak acid. This reaction contributes to the acidic nature of the solution, rather than making it basic.
