Question

X - \[\ce{HCl <=> H^{1+} + Cl-}\] (in solution state)

Y - \[\ce{PbBr2 <=> Pb^{2+} + 2Br^{1-}}\] (in molten state)

From the above reaction X or Y, identify the reaction which exhibit:

ionization

Answer 1

'X' HCl is a powerful acid; therefore, in solution, it completely dissociates and generates independent ions that are not held together by any force.
