Ammonium chloride facts

Ammonium chloride is a white crystalline salt that forms a mildly acidic solution in water.
It is used as a nitrogen fertilizer, as a flux in soldering and galvanizing, in dry-cell batteries, and to flavor salty licorice.
When heated, it seems to sublime because it breaks down into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gases that recombine as a white solid on cooler surfaces.
