Which of the following balanced equations represents the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base reaction that occurs when hydrochloric acid is dissolved in water? (a) HCl(aq)→H+(aq)+Cl−(aq)\mathrm{HCl(aq) \rightarrow H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)} (b) HCl(aq)+H2O(l)→Cl−(aq)+H3O+(aq)\mathrm{HCl(aq) + H_2O(l) \rightarrow Cl^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)} (c) HCl(aq)+H2O(l)→H2Cl+(aq)+OH−(aq)\mathrm{HCl(aq) + H_2O(l) \rightarrow H_2Cl^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)} (d) HCl(aq)+OH−(aq)→H2O(l)+Cl−(aq)\mathrm{HCl(aq) + OH^-(aq) \rightarrow H_2O(l) + Cl^-(aq)}
