Ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, will dissolve in water to produce ammonium cations, NH+4, and chloride anions, Cl.

Since it's a very soluble salt, it will dissociate completely according to the following chemical equation

NH4Cl(s)NH+4(aq)+Cl(aq)

This is actually an endothermic reaction, which impliesr that heat is being absorbed from the surroundings.
