Answer:

HCl is an acid and Cl- is its conjugate base

Step-by-step explanation:

Acid is any specie which donates H+ and base is any specie which accepts H+.

Accoriding to Equation HCl ionises in water and give H+ hence it is an acid. Cl- has now ability to accept proton as it has negative charge therefore it is now base.
