Solution

In the preparation of $H C l$ acid from $H C l$ gas a funnel arrangement provides more surface area for the absorption of gas.
A special funnel system is used to create $H C l$ acid via gas.
This arrangement is required to avoid back suction of water into the apparatus and to increase the surface area available for hydrogen chloride gas dissolution.
It helps to move the reaction forward, leading to the formation of $H C l$ acid from $H C l$ gas.
