Answer:
A solution of HCl in water gives hydronium ions and conducts electricity, but HCl is also soluble in dry toluene, but in that case, it neither (i) turns blue litmus red (ii) nor does conduct electricity. This indicates the absence of H+ ions in toluene showing thereby that hydrogen chloride is a covalent compound.
