Answer:
Water is a polar solvent
Explanation:
We must know that pure dry hydrogen chloride gas does not show any acidic property.
In fact, when hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water, it breaks up into H3O^+ ions and Cl^- ions. This is possible because water is a polar solvent and assists the ionization of HCl.
In nonpolar solvents such as benzene, hydrogen chloride gas is not ionized hence it does not show any acidic property in a benzene solution.
