HCl, or hydrochloric acid, as the name implies, is an acid. In fact, it is considered a strong acid because it dissociates completely in water to form H3O+ and Cl-. A 1.00M aqueous solution of HCl has a pH of 0. Concentrated HCl (about 12M) has a pH of -1.1. pH = -log10[H+]
But it can also act as a base in reactions with acids stronger tha itself like HClO4. In its anhydrous form, HCl is a very poisonous gas.
It is an Acid, known as Hydrogen chloride (and Hydrochloric acid, when it is dissolved in water)

What is HCl an example of a acid or a base?
HCl is an example of acid. It is not a base.
Is HCl a base salt or acid?
HCl is the chemical formula of hydrochloric acid.
Is HCl and CaOH an acid base reaction?
its a base !!
Is HCI a weak base?
HCL* and no, HCL (hydrochloric acid) is obviously an acid, and not a base. this is because on the pH scale HCL has a rating higher than 7pH, making it not a base nor neutral. ;)
A reaction between an acid and a base is?
It is called an acid-base reaction. The product is called a salt. For example: NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O NaOH is the base. HCl is the acid. NaCl is the salt. H2O is water.

HCl is a strong acid, not a base.
Is dilute HCl a acid or base?
It is an acid.

Is HClO a acid or a base?
No. HCl is the formula for hydrochloric acid (a strong acid).
What is HCl an acid base or neutral solution?
Hydrochloric acid is an acid.
What is the process of acid base neutralization?
In acid base neutralisation, both the acid and the base react with each other to form salt and water. Ex: hcl+naoh --> nacl + hoh here, acid-hcl base-naoh salt-nacl water-hoh
What is the conjugate acid pair of Cl?
HCL is the conjugate acid pair of Cl. And Cl is the conjugate base pair of HCl.
What is the formula for one acid and one base?
HCl is hydrochloric acid and NaOH is sodium hydroxide a base.
