    HCl (l) + H₂O (l) → H₃O⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

    Explanation:

    Arrhenius' acid-base concept indicates that a substance will be an acid when it produces in water hydrogen H⁺ ions or hydronium H₃O⁺ ions.

    In turn, the substance will be base if when reacting in water it produces hydroxide ions (OH⁻)

    The HCl reacts in water in order to produce hydronium ions and chlorides
