Will the following reaction essentially go to completion?

Question

The following reaction will essentially go to completion:

HCl + H₂O → Cl^- + H₃O⁺

True or False?

Answer 1

I believe that within the context of your class, HCl is a strong acid, which means that it dissociates completely. In terms of equilibria we are essentially saying that the K_A of HCl is infinite for our purposes. This assumption is usually warranted.
