Answer:

NH₄Cl ------> NH₃ + HCl

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonium Chloride =(NH₄Cl

Ammonia = NH₃

Hydrochloric Acid = HCl

NHCl ------> NH + HCl

In decomposition reaction, the reactant is breaking down into smaller parts. In this case, all of the coefficients are 1. The reaction is already balanced.
