Answer:
Water has a neutral pH of seven. HCl is known as hydrochloric acid when it is in an aqueous solution. Hydrochloric acid has a pH of zero in a one molar solution. As you add HCl to water, it will lower the pH of water........

When HCl is added to water, it donates an H+ ion to the water, leaving a Cl- ion in solution. This increases the H+ activity of the solution without increasing the concentration of OH- ions in the solution. Hence, the pH of water becomes more acidic; as you add an increasing amount of HCl, the pH gets lower
