Use a chemical equation to help explain why the pH of an aqueous solution changes after HCl solution has been added

This is what I got

HCL + H2O = H30+ plus CL-

Hope that makes since (those are a positive and negative signs at the right side of the equation)

Tell if I'm right, close or wrong. If I'm wrong please help me get to the right answer thanks so much :D

That is right. The addition of H3O+ molecules would lower the pH and make the solution more acidic!
Ok thank you :D
