Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid. This means that O HC1 dissociates completely to H*(aq) and Cl-(aq) when it dissolves in water O HC1 does not dissociate at all when it is dissolved in water O HCl produces a gaseous product when it is neutralized O HC1 cannot be neutralized by a weak base aqueous solutions of HCl contain equal concentrations of H+(aq) and OH-(aq)

Write two BrnstedLowry acid-base reactions and show how they represent proton-transfer reactions.
Most naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.
