HOCl is known as hypochlorous acid, whereas HClO is the same compound and not a different acid. The compound HCl in aqueous solution is called hydrochloric acid following the naming rule for binary acids. ;

HOCl is called hypochlorous acid, which is a disinfectant and has antibacterial properties. HClO refers to the same compound but is a different notation. The naming conventions help to distinguish between various acids containing chlorine based on their oxygen content.
