HCl gas is molecular HCl in the gaseous phase, HCl acid is HCl in solution with water, and can be said to be in the form H+ Cl-. (Or to be a pendant, H3O+ Cl- as techincally protons do not exist on their own in solution.) It is this dissociation of the molecule into constituent ions which gives an acid its properties. On a physical level, HCl gas is a yellow/green gas, and HCl acid is a clear solution.

∙ 11y agoHCl and ammonia are both gases at room temperature and pressure. Ammonia boils at -33 0 C HCl boils at -85.5 0C. NH3 has hydrogen bonds that hold the molecules together in the liquid state. HCl is not considered to have hydrogen bonds just dipole -dipole interactions that are not as strong.

Why is HCL gas not an acid but HCL aqueous an acid?
becoz HCL aqueous s has an ability to react with bases and it changes the blue litmus in to red colour hence HCL gas is noit an acid but HCL aqueous an acid.
Difference between hydroflouric acid and hydrochloric acid?
First, HF, is weak, second HCl is strong acid
What is the difference between hydrochloric acid and perchloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid is HCl and it is a strong acid. Perchloric acdi is HClO4 and is an even stronger acid.
Is HCl a base salt or acid?
HCl is the chemical formula of hydrochloric acid.
Why HCL forms misty droplets of HCL acid in air?
HCl gas is highly hygroscopic.

Hydrochloric acid is HCl and it is a strong acid. Perchloric acdi is HClO4 and is an even stronger acid.
Is HCl a base salt or acid?
HCl is the chemical formula of hydrochloric acid.
What is the difference between formula H 2 and formula HCI?
H2 is the formula for pure Hydrogen gas, whereas HCl is Hydrochloric Acid, which is a compound of Hydrogen and Chlorine.
Why HCL forms misty droplets of HCL acid in air?
HCl gas is highly hygroscopic.
Is stomach acid just HCL?
No, HCl, hydrogen chloride, is a corrosive gas. It dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid. So, stomach acid is HCl and water.
Is HCl an acid or an alkali?
HCl is the chemical formula for hydrogen chloride gas . However, when dissolved in watwer , it is written as 'HCl(aq)' it is then hydrochloric acid. So HCl is acidic.
What are HCl Salts?
Hydrochloric acid is the only term used for acid HCl
What color is HCl?
HCl is a colourless gas, with pungent odour. When dissolved in water to form hydrochloric acid , it remains colourless.
Is HCl homogeneous?
The hydrochloric acid is a homogeneous gas.
What is the solute and solvent of muriatic acid?
The aqueous solution of HCl is the Muriatic acid so HCl gas is solute and water is solvent.
