What if Cl in certain conditions is released to water?
It is a chemical reaction of any acid with a base or organic.
You get bubbles.

Well, not really. There may be some situations where that's true, but in
the typical case: HCl + (x)OH = HOH + (x)Cl

Agreed. Bubbles comes from higher concentrations not being absorbed.
Then they react, and as you said:
acid + base = salt + water
or even more complex organics.
