When hydrogen reacts with chlorine,hydrogen chloride is formed.Hydrogen chloride is a gas, and has the formula HCl(g). When hydrogen chloride dissolves in water,hydrochloric acid is formed. This has the same formula, but you can tell thedifference because of the state symbol (aq), which stands for 'aqueous'.

Hydrogen chloride gas and hydrochloric acid have the same chemical formula, HCl. The difference between the two is that hydrogen chloride is a gas, and hydrochloric acid is an aqueous solution. Hydrogen chloride gas is heavier than air, slightly yellow in color, non-flammable, and highly reactive with water.
