Acids are solutions with a high concentration of H+ ions. When HCl is put into water it dissociates. That means it breaks apart by the reaction:
HCl —> H+ + Cl-
One of the products of dissociation is H+, making the solution Acidic.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

soluble because all compounds containing K are soluble

Explanation:

Most metal hydroxides are insoluble. However, alkali metal hydroxides (such as KOH and NaOH) are very soluble.

In the case of KOH, the K cation is attracted to the electronegative oxygen on water. The OH anion is capable of hydrogen bonding to the water. (Notice how OH⁻ is simply the deprotonated form of water.)
