So, water reacts with hydrochloric acid in the following formula
H2O + HCl —-> H3O+ + Cl-
We can visualize that when the two react, the hydrogen ions is taken on by the water molecule. This satisfies one of the definitions for a base
Bronsted acids = anything that donates a proton (H+ ion)
Bronsted bases = anything that accepts a proton (H+ ion)
So, as we can see, that is exactly what is happening. The Cl- and H+ detach and then the water takes on that extra H+.
H3O+ is what we call a hydronium ion
I've never done a reaction that involved just bond enthalpies before, so this is just a guess.
It's still products - reactants. The problem is the C=O bond. Do you count it once or twice? I'm going to choose once, but don't be surprised if it is incorrect.
Sum of the products - Sum of the reactants.
ΔH = 799 - 494
ΔH = 305
And that would be your answer to three places.
Answer
The second part of the theory says all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. The third part says compounds are combinations of two or more different types of atoms. The fourth part of the theory states that a chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

Answer:
To tell if something is an acid or a base, you can use a chemical called an indicator. An indicator changes color when it encounters an acid or base. There are many different types of indicators, some that are liquids and others that are concentrated on little strips of "litmus" paper.
