Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduce

Ammonia in water forms an aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide.This solution is basic in nature as it produces hydroxyl ions in aqueous solution. 

NH3 + H2O <---> NH4+ + OH- 

Here we have to find out what happens when ammonium chloride is added today aqueous ammoia solution.
