Either you don't know what you are talking about or your keyboard is sick. First, there are generic "salts", which may not be chlorides, and it would take an alchemist to do the trick. Second, "salt" is SODIUM CHLORIDE, which can be formed from hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. However, reforming the acid and base from the salt is not practical due to the high energy investment. You can form Na and Cl2 from the salt by electrolysis and then use the chlorine gas to make HCl.

to turn a salt into HCl would need to perform a couple reactions
.. first, you would need to disolve the salt in water, so that the ions dissociate. THen you would need to add a source of chloride if the salt didn't already have chloride.
YOu would need to keep adding different chemicals to precipitate out the ions in the solution other than H and Cl...

thats how you would make HCl acid..

Add excess HCl. Normally, it is the free base that is converted to the HCl salt. Have not really heard of turning a salt into the HCl.
