    NH4Cl is the product of a strong acid and a weak base, so it is acidic.

    If you really must have an equation:

    NH4OH + HCl → NH4Cl + H2O

    You might also see the equation this way:

    NH4^+(aq) + H2O(𝓁) <==> H3O^+(aq) + NH3(aq)

    The NH4+ ion is the conjugate acid of NH3. Because it is a conjugate acid, a solution of NH4Cl will be acidic:

    NH4+ <--> H+ + NH3
