Ammonium chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula NH4Cl. It's white crystalline solid, highly soluble in water.Solutions of ammonium chloride are mildly acidic. Ammonium chloride occurs naturaly as mineral Sal ammoniac which is commonly formed on burning coal dumps, due to condensation of coal-derived gases. It is also found around some types of volcanic vents. Ammonium Chloride is mainly used as fertilizer and as flavouring agent in some types of liquorice.
