The equation hcl (aq) + h2o (l) ↔ h3o+ (aq) + cl- (aq) properly depicts the behavior of hydrochloric acid in water. the equation hcl (aq) + h2o (l) ↔ h3o+ (aq) + cl- (aq) properly depicts the behavior of hydrochloric acid in water. a. true b. false

Reaction of interest:   HCl (aq) + H2O (l) ↔ H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) 

option a) True

Reason:
According the Lowry-Bronsted theory of acid and base, an acid is a proton donor, while base is a proton acceptor. An acid donates the proton to form conjugate base and base accept the proton to generate conjugate acid.

In above reaction, HCl donates the proton to H2O, hence it is an acid. Upon proton donation, to forms Cl-, which is conjugate base of acid. 

Answer : option c) heat is released during the process.explanation :

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.

Sorry i dont understand the question can you rephase it?
