Hydrogen chloride can emit protons to the medium. It is not a salt but a strong acid.

No, it is a weak acid. In salts metal ions are involved in stead of (acidic) hydrogen ions (protons, H+)

How to separate ammonia and hydrogen chloride?

Ammonia and hydrogen chloride can be separated based on their differing acid/base properties. A mixture of these gases will form a solid salt, ammonium chloride. By adding a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide, the ammonium ion will be deprotonated, giving ammonia, sodium chloride, and water. Heating the mixture will then separate the ammonia from the chloride ion, which is trapped as a salt. Adding sulfuric acid to the sodium chloride and heating will regenerate the hydrogen chloride. Note that water will also distill with the products.
