Hydrogen Chloride,HCl,is a Gas at Room Temperature $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$

Multiple Choice

Hydrogen chloride,HCl,is a gas at room temperature.Would you expect this material to be very soluble or not very soluble in water?

A) HCl is very soluble in water by virtue of the dipole/dipole attractions occurring between the HCl and $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ O molecules.
B) It is not very soluble because it is a gas,and all gases have very low solubility in water at room temperature.
C) HCl is very soluble in water because it is such a small molecule,there is little electrical attraction to other HCl molecules.
D) It is not very soluble because as a gas with low density,it floats to the surface of the water and then into the surrounding atmosphere.
