Answer:

HCl is acidic only when moist or aqueous. Hydrogen Chloride gas will turn blue litmus paper red only if either the gas is moist or the litmus paper is wet with some pure water. This is because when the gas comes into contact with the water on the paper, it becomes acidic, turning the litmus paper red.
