Please help me verify whether the process described below is the
test for ammonia gas.
GCSE SCIENCE CHEMISTRY HIGH SCHOOL - Test and Collection of
Ammonia Gas - gcsescience.com.
Specific test.
Ammonia will form
a white smoke
in the presence of hydrogen chloride gas,
HCl(g).
The white smoke is ammonium chloride,
NH4Cl(s).

Why is it that NH4Cl is a solid? Under the solubility table,
isn't insoluble chlorides salt confined to just lead and silver
salts?
thanks.
