"Hydrochloric acid", or more accurately, "hydrochloric acid gas". When writing or speaking very precisely, the term "hydrochloric acid" should be used only for a solution of hydrogen chloride, which is a gas at standard temperature and pressure, in water. However, because the pure gas is only rarely encountered in most chemical laboratories, while the solution is very common, many practicing chemists use the same term for both.
