What best describes what happens when an acid such as HCl is mixed with water? Group of answer choices HCl is not an acid. A hydroxide ion from the water is transferred to the HCl molecule to form a proton and hydronium ion. The proton chemically bonded to the chlorine is transferred to a water molecule and forms a chloride ion and a hydronium ion. None of these A proton from the chlorine nucleus is ejected and captured by a water molecule to form a negatively charged HCl and a new hydronium ion.
