How does ammonium chloride react with sulfuric acid?

If you mix ammonium chloride with dilute sulfuric acid there will not be any effective reaction even if the mixture is heated. You will only get a homogeneous solution containing NH4(+), H(+), Cl(-) and HSO4(-) ions. read more

But if a mixture of pure (solid) ammonium chloride and concentrated sulfuric acid is heated, hydrogen chloride gas will evolve. 2nh4cl + h2so4 = (nh4)2so4 + 2hcl The other product will be ammonium sulfate as sulfuric acid displaces hydrochloric acid from the latter’s salt. read more

Ammonium chloride is already protonated, so the sulfuric acid splits into H3O+ and HSO4- and just kind of hangs out in solution. Now, if you added normal ammonia to an acidic solution, you'd get a bit of a reaction as the ammona gets protonated to an ammonium salt. read more

Ammonium chloride react with sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulfate and hydrogen chloride. Ammonium chloride - solid. Sulfuric acid - concentrated solution. The reaction takes place in a boiling solution. read more
