Solution
The action of heat on ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) can be represented by the following equation:
\[\ce{NH4Cl <=> NH3 + HCl}\]
This reaction is an example of thermal dissociation, which occurs when a chemical breaks down into simpler components without oxygen. Ammonium chloride dissociates into NH3 and HCl.
