A covalent bond is formed.
I believe that the property referenced in 'like dissolves like" is polarity. Solvents are substances that dissolves solutes forming a solution. Solvents may be either polar or non polar; polar solvents contain bonds between atoms with very different electronegativities, such as oxygen and hydrogen, while non polar solvents have bonds between atoms with similar electronegativities such as hydrogen and carbon.
The equation is as follow,
<span> HBr </span>₍aq₎ + H₂O ₍l₎ →
Solution:
HBr being strong acid with Ka value of 1.0 × 10⁹. When HBr is added to water, water acts as a base and HBr acts as a acid. Water picks the proton (H⁺) from HBr and converts into Conjugate acid (H₃O⁺) ahile HBr is converted into Conjugate Base (Br⁻) after loosing proton. The equation for this reaction is as follow,
HBr ₍aq₎ + H₂O ₍l₎ → H₃O⁺ ₍aq₎ + Br⁻ ₍aq₎
Chemistry is the study of substances—that is, elements and compounds.
