Basically it is the difference between a quantity and a concentration. 0.5 mole HCl means approximately 17.73 gram of HCl. 0.50M HCl means that quantity of HCl per litre of solution.

So if you had two litre of 0.50M HCl solution, you would have 35.46 gram of HCl, but 0.5 mole HCl always means just 17.73 gram.

There are two other issues -- the first is an issue of precision. 0.5 mole in scientific practice means anything between 0.45 and 0.55 mole, that is (in this case) a ±10% margin of error. So 0.5 mole HCl might be anywhere between 16.0 and 19.5 gram. But 0.50M HCl is much more tightly constrained -- between 0.495 and 0.505 mole per litre, meaning between 17.55 and 17.91 gram per litre. The second is, of course, that with any chemical element whose symbol is 2 letters, like Cl, the second letter must be lower case -- Cl, not CL.
