NaCl is neutral in solution and the other compound will not be neutral. Distinguish between NH4Cl and NaCl?NH4Cl is one of the few chemicals that sublime on heating; NaCl doesn't. Warm with sodium hydroxide solution. NH4Cl gives strong smell of ammonia. Gas is alkaline. No result with NaCl.
Equation: NH4Cl + NaOH ---> NaCl + H2O + NH3
