So NH4Cl(s) -----> NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq). As NH4Cl is ionic you can assume it is a solid. Since H2O is polar it reacts with the NH4Cl ion in a way which allows it to dissociate the ion. The oxygen is slightly negative while the hydrogens have a partial positive charge. The negativity of the oxygen in H2O causes the positive charge of the NH4+ molecule to cancel making it no longer attracted to the Cl. The hydrogen in H2O will do the same to the Cl. Once this happens you will have the products stated above in the reaction equation. NH4+ will further react with the water. NH4+ + H2O ---> NH3 + H3O+ . H3O+ is produced rather than OH- because NH4+ is acidic and therefore will donate a hydrogen. Note that because NH4Cl fully dissociates, you do not add in the + H2O in the first equation.

When water is ionized it can act as either an acid or a base true or false?

Pure water can't be ionized. To be ionized, water must contain minerals. The dissolved minerals conduct electricity, which ionizes the water: Water with a net-negative ionic charge will be an alkaline Water with a net-positive ionic charge will be an acidic In nature, the minerals dissolved in the water will have an influence on whether it is acidic or alkaline. The water's movement through ferrous rock formations (which are magnetic) will cause it to become ionized.
