Assertion is correct and the reason is correct explanation of the assertion.
- Hydrogen chloride (HCl) forms hydrochloric acid when dissolved in water. It's acidic property is due to the formation of hydronium ions (H+) when HCl dissociates in water.
- The dissociation of HCl in water gives H+ ions and Cl- (chloride) ions. The reason for this is the polar nature of water (H2O).
- The Cl- ions are partially attracted by the H+ ions of water, while H+ of HCl is partially attracted by OH- ions of water.
- Eventually, this attraction overcomes the attraction between H+ and Cl- of the acid and dissociation occurs.
