Answer:
The resulting solution is called hydrochloric acid and is a strong acid. The acid dissociation or ionization constant, Ka, is large, which means HCl dissociates or ionizes practically completely in water. Even in the absence of water, hydrogen chloride can still act as an acid

Answer:
HCl(g) is known as the hydrogen chloride gas and not hydrochloric acid because in the gaseous state, does not ionize to give hydrogen ions. These are related only when the gas is dissolved in water. Hydrochloric acid dissociate completely in water. Even in the absence of water hydrochloric acid converted into hydrogen chloride gas.
