In a textbook, HCl is said to remain as molecules in liquid ethanol. However, I still wonder whether HCl dissociates in ethanol to give H+ and Cl- ions.
I think that as ethanol contains an OH group which is polar, ethanol molecules are capable of breaking the bond H-Cl in a manner similar to how polar water molecules do.
Are there any other factors that affect the ability to dissociate of a molecule in a liquid? If so, please provide me with some examples. Thank you in advance.
