{ H C l Hydrogen chloride Hydrochloric acid \Huge{\begin{aligned} \begin{cases} \ce{HCl}&\rightarrow \text{Hydrogen chloride} \\ &\rightarrow \text{Hydrochloric acid} \\ \end{cases} \end{aligned}}

it seems,that you are confused.

I meant that both can be the case, so it depends.

@Vinayak Srivastava unfortunately,yes.it depends upon the solvent.

@A Former Brilliant Member I also think it depends upon the solvent, that is why I wrote it can be Hydrogen chloride also, and Hydrochloric acid also. Is this really wrong? I wish to know. It is not unfortunate to get things wrong, but unfortunate to not know if I am wrong.

@Vinayak Srivastava yes buddy,these names are not a reason to state.Name is name. Such as emf stands for electro motive force,but it is a type of work. The actual reason is “might is right“. if you use solvent as super acid,then it will.act as base.

@A Former Brilliant Member Ohk, but I think I won't delete my solution, as your comment may help me in future also, when I study this chapter. Is it ok, or you want me to delete it?

@Vinayak Srivastava if you do not want to delete,then don“t delete. Have you started calculus?

@A Former Brilliant Member Yes, I have learned a little bit of differentiation as it is needed for Kinematics and other chapters. I haven't learnt integration, as I think it is just opposite, and I don't like it, nor it is used anywhere.

@Vinayak Srivastava in kinematics,integration will be used.It would be better if you learn something about definite integration.Can you understand hindi?
