HCl is a Bronsted Lowry acid.

Explanation:

The autoionization of water may be represented in the following way:

2H2OH3O++HO

Kw=[H3O+][HO]=1014 at 298K

Under non-standard conditions, e.g. T=350K, how do you think the equilibrium constant would evolve? Would it increase, decrease, stay the same? Remember that, as written, the given equilibrium is a bond-breaking reaction.
