Ammonium Chloride

Ammonium chloride, with the chemical formula NH4CI, is an inorganic compound that forms white crystalline salt, highly soluble in water. Solutions of ammonium chloride tend to be mildly acidic. Sal ammoniac refers to the natural mineralogical form of ammonium chloride. Ammonium chloride serves as an excellent source of both nitrogen (N) and chloride ions (Cl-) for crops such as coconut, oil palm, and kiwifruit, which are responsive to chloride.
