Write a chemical equation for HCl(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

HCl (l) + H₂O(l) →  H₃O⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Arrhenius' acid-base concept indicates that a substance will be an acid when it produces in water hydrogen H⁺ ions or hydronium H₃O⁺ ions.

In turn, the substance will be base if when reacting in water it produces hydroxide ions (OH⁻)

The HCl reacts in water in order to produce hydronium ions and chlorides

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
