    1. wa. Molecular form.

    2. wa. Molecular form.

    3. sa. Ionic form.

    Explanation:

    1. hydrocyanic acid

    HCN is a weak acid. That means that in the following equilibrium, the molecular form (HCN (aq)) is favored, and that's how it should be written in solution.

    HCN (aq) ⇄ H⁺ (aq) + CN⁻ (aq)

    2. hypochlorous acid

    HClO is a weak acid. That means that in the following equilibrium, the molecular form (HClO (aq)) is favored, and that's how it should be written in solution.

    HClO (aq) ⇄ H⁺ (aq) + ClO⁻ (aq)

    3. hydrochloric acid

    HCl is a strong acid. That means that it completely dissociates and it should be written in the ionic form (H⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)) when it is in solution.

    HCl (aq) → H⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)
