hydrogen chloride
Acidic gaseous compound
Hydrogen chloride is a compound of hydrogen and chlorine (HCl) that exists as a colorless gas with a sharp, irritating odor.
When dissolved in water, it forms hydrochloric acid.
The gas is used industrially in chemical synthesis and can cause severe respiratory damage if inhaled: Hydrogen chloride fumes escaped from the damaged tank.
