If i had a solution of hcl and water.,... then it is acidic solution.....

so in the solution it will be like "H3o+ + cl-"
when i distilled it the distilled pure water is also acidic...... which means some of H+ ions are coming with the water as H3O+.........

here my question is then what happens to the lone cl_ ions in the concentrated solution....

any body can throw an idea.....

jfraser · Answer

did you dilute the concentration HCl with distilled water, or did you prepare a fresh sample of distilled water? i'm confused exactly what you mean.

the Cl- ions in the concentrated acid are still present in the dilute acid, there is just more water.
