A proton (H⁺) is transferred from the hydrochloric acid to the water molecule.
<h3>What is Bronsted-Lowry theory?</h3>
Bronsted-Lowry theory is used to classify acids and bases.
- Acid: is a substance that donates H⁺.
- Base: is a substance that accepts H⁺.
Hydrochloric acid is an acid and when it reacts with water, it transfers an H⁺ ion, according to the following equation.
HCl + H₂O ⇒ Cl⁻ + H₃O⁺
