Answer:

The ion that is formed when an acid is dissolved in a solution is OH-.

Step-by-step explanation:

An acid is a molecule that donates hydrogen ions, or protons, to another molecule. In solution, the acid dissociates, or breaks apart, to form hydrogen ions and the negatively-charged anion of the acid. The anion of a typical acid is the molecule minus the hydrogen ions, so it is OH- for hydrochloric acid, HCl.
