Ammonium chloride is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula NH4Cl and a white crystalline salt that is highly soluble in water.

  • Ammonium chloride is prepared commercially by combining ammonia (NH3) with either hydrogen chloride (gas) or hydrochloric acid (water solution)-
  • NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl.
  • Ammonium chloride occurs naturally in volcanic regions, forming on volcanic rocks near fume-releasing vents (fumaroles).
