Question

why is hcl soluble in water despite being a covalent compound

Answer 1

When you dissolve it in water, HCl is broken up into the ions H+ and Cl-. It is these ions that are stabilized in water, and usually, they can be quite far apart from one another. So the reason that HCl dissolves in water despite being covalent, is that it is willing to break up into ions.

Answer 2

Answer:

• When placed in water , the HCl acts as a source of H + ions thus lowering the pH of a solution.
• To summarize, when HCl dissolve in water, its components dissociate into H+ ions and Cl- ions when the covalent bond is broken between them.
