Generally, when only hydrogen and chlorine are being bonded together, you can get two compounds. First is hydrogen chloride, a gas at room temperature. The second is hydrochloric acid, which is hydrogen chloride dissolved in water, called an aqueous solution. The chemical formula for both hydrogen chloride and hydrochloric acid is the same if you don't include the subscripts of their states.

hydrogen chloride has the formula HCl(g)

hydrochloric acid has the formula HCl(aq)
