It depends on the acid but it is always H+ ions and whatever is left as a negative (HCl gives Cl - etc)

Remember acids are usually an H+ ion and another negative ion, usually a compound like -Cl or -SO4.
Acids do not "dissolve" in water. They "ionize".

Let HA represent an acid.
HA + H2O ===> H3O+ and A-
often this is simply written as-
HA ===> H+ and A-
The hydrogen ion (H+) and the hydronium ion (H3O+) are sometimes used interchangeably. Does you teacher always write H3O+? If so, I suggest you want to do the same.
