When ammonium chloride mixes with water the solution formed feels cold what type of reaction is this endothermic or exothermic?

When ammonium chloride dissolves in water, it is not a reaction at all, but only a dissolution. Since the solution formed feels cold, the dissolution is endothermic, absorbing heat from its surroundings.


What is the balanced formula for Ammonium chloride and water?

Your question isn't clear - there is no reaction between ammonium chloride and water beyond dissolution. Do you mean the formula for hydrated ammonium chloride - NH4Cl.xH2O? ?


What type of reaction do you get when you mix ammonium chloride with water endo or exothermic?

good question endothermic. Ammonium chloride dissolves in water and makes it cold.


Will there be a reaction between ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride?

no reaction


What reactions does ammonium chloride and water produce?

No chemical reactions will happen when ammonium chloride and water is mixed. Water will dissolve ammonium chloride, meaning the ions of ammonium chloride will dissociate, but no chemical reaction involving the creation of new species will occur. The drop in temeperature is due to the fact that the dissolution process for ammonium chloride is endothermic. Changes in temperature therefore are not good indications of chemical reactions.


Is NaCl an exothermic or endothermic reaction?

Only with very high heat. This compound can melt without decomposition.


Is the reaction of magnesium sulfate and water exothermic or endothermic?

It is not a chemical reaction, it is dissolution; this physical process is exothermic.


Among the following identify the reaction which is a synthesis as well as an exothermic reaction.Formation of carbon dioxide from limestoneFormation ammonia from its constituentsFormation of ammonium chloride from ammonia and hydrogen chloride?

If you mix Ammonia as well as Hydrogen chloride, you will get ammonium chloride. It is given by NH3 (g) + HCl (g) → NH4Cl(s)

Why is ammonium chloride not a chemical reaction?

Because aluminium chloride is a compound, not a reaction.


Is citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate endothermic or exothermic?

Dissolution is an exothermic reaction.


What is the chemical name of the formula NH4Cl?

NH4Cl is ammonium chloride. It is the product of an acid-base reaction between ammonia and hydrochloric acid. It is mildly acidic.
