When ammonium chloride dissolves in water, it is not a reaction at all, but only a dissolution. Since the solution formed feels cold, the dissolution is endothermic, absorbing heat from its surroundings.

Ammonium chloride is neither a reaction nor endothermic: Ammonium chloride is a compound like salt or aspirin.

The dissolution of ammonium chloride in water, is however endothermic. Heat is taken up from the solution resulting in lowering of the temperature.


The degree (no pun intended) to which the temperature drops is related to the relative proportions of water and the salt.

Endothermic.

The dissolution of most salts is an endothermic process as is the case when dissolving ammonium chloride in water.

Is ammonium endo or exothermic?

endothermic but don't know why? As AN crystals are formed the reaction is exothermic. Endothermic when it melts back with water. This is the reason AN is used in cold packs.
