You divide molar mass by molar volume.

Explanation:

Molar mass for HClHCl is (rounded) 1.0+35.5=36.5g//mol1.0+35.5=36.5g/mol
(you can get more exact figures from any source).

Molar volume at 273Kand1atm=22.4dm^3//mol273Kand1atm=22.4dm3/mol

So HClHCl has a density of:

rho=(36.5g//cancel(mol))/(22.4dm^3//cancel(mol))=1.63g//dm^3=1.63kg//m^3

Note : There are many STP conditions defined. I used the one that is most common in my country.
