Ammonium chloride is a salt formed by strong acid and weak bases. This means that hydrolysis proceeds along the cation - the base and proton are formed.The resulting proton determines the acid reaction of the solution

NH4Cl=NH4++Cl−NH_4Cl=NH_4^++Cl^-

NH4++H2O↔NH3⋅H2O+H+NH_4^++H_2O\leftrightarrow NH_3·H_2O +H^+
