Well that is somewhat loaded it is pure in and of itself, it can be impure but it can be pure. Adding other gasses to it (its a gas at room temp when not dissolved in water to make the acid) would make it impure. Adding things to the acid which do not react could also be seen as impurities.

Bear in mind there is no way to make the actual molecule impure by say making HOCl because this is no longer HCl but a different compound (hypochloric acid)
