Generally, you never need to memorize any formulas in chemistry as long as you know the "rules" to figure out the formula from the name.
In practice, it gets much easier and you will naturally remember the more common substances and polyatomic ions, it just takes time at first.
The question as to how one makes chemical compounds is EXTREMELY VAGUE. There are soooooooo many different chemical compounds out there, it would be impossible to list instructions on how to make them all, and often times, there are multiple ways to prepare each one.
HCl (Hydrogen Chloride) is a gas which can be synthesized by the reaction of Hydrogen gas and Chlorine gas,
H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) --> 2HCl (g)
Hydrochloric acid (HCl (aq)) can be made by dissolving Hydrogen Chloride gas in water,
HCl (g) --H2O--> HCl (aq)
Potassium Chlorate (KClO3) can be made by a precipitation reaction by adding a soluble K+ salt to a solution of Sodium Chlorate. The difference in the solubilities of NaClO3 and KClO3 cause the KClO3 to crystallize out when the solution is cooled.
Both [all 3] of these substances described above have numerous other methods of production, it not limited to simply the described procedure.

There are chemical mixtures, solutions, and compounds.
A mixture of chemicals, can be seperated, and did not react. These are different than compounds, which have reacted together, and exchanged electrons, and absorbed or released energy in forming the new bonds.
So mixtures, can be reseperated into their original components by mechanical means, but compounds, can not. To seperate compounds, requires breaking and forming bonds, and application of energy to do so.

chemical nomenclature. There's a set of rules that govern the naming of chemical compounds, ionic compounds and various other compounds when the need arises.
