Well, if you mean chlorine gas (an element) adding an acid (which would usually require bubbling it through the acid) won't do much in most cases (but could depend on the specific acid).
But, if you mean chlorine bleach (the compound sodium hypochlorite) adding an acid to it generates toxic chlorine gas.
The simple answer is yes you can, but the smart and safe answer depends on which kind of "chlorine" you mean, where you are doing it, and if you want to generate toxic products or not. I definitely recommend against adding acids to household chlorine bleach!
