Help with Balancing a Reaction

For my chemistry homework I have to balance the following:
H
2
Cl
HCl
2
I've been wondering if its even possible to balance it, but I figured I try my luck here.

It is impossible as it stands. There must be other reagents on one or both sides.
And neither H
2
Cl nor HCl
2
exists. Are you sure you have copied the question correctly?

@mjc123 Yes i'm sure that I copied it correctly, although I think you're right about it being impossible unless there are other reagents. Thanks for letting me know, because now I won't waste my time trying to solve it.
