Ammonium chloride (nh4cl), also called sal ammoniac,
ammonium chloride [credit: martin walker]the salt of ammonia and hydrogen chloride. Its principal use is as an electrolyte in dry cells, and it is also extensively employed as a constituent of galvanizing, tinning, and soldering fluxes to remove oxide coatings from metals and thereby improve the adhesion of the solders. It is a component of many proprietary cold medicines and cough remedies. Ammonium chloride is a colourless crystalline substance. It is highly soluble in water, readily forming a slightly acidic solution. It vaporizes without melting at 340 °c (644 °f) to form equal volumes of ammonia and hydrogen chloride. Ammonium chloride is yielded as a by-product in the ammonia-soda process for making sodium carbonate. It also is produced by reaction of ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride solutions. When mixed with slaked lime (calcium carbonate), ammonia gas is the result.
