Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) has a variety of applications across different industries, including:

1. **Agriculture (Fertilizer)**:  
   Ammonium chloride is used as a nitrogen source in fertilizers, especially for crops like rice, wheat, and barley. It provides nitrogen in a form that plants can readily absorb.

2. **Metalwork (Galvanizing, Tinning, Soldering)**:  
   In metalwork, ammonium chloride acts as a flux for soldering. It cleans the metal surfaces by removing oxide layers, allowing better bonding between metals.

3. **Pharmaceuticals**:  
   It is used in the formulation of certain medications, especially as an expectorant to treat coughs, helping to break down mucus in the respiratory tract. It also plays a role in maintaining the body's acid-base balance in some treatments.

4. **Food Industry**:  
   Ammonium chloride is sometimes used as a food additive (E510), mainly in baking as a yeast nutrient or in certain licorice products to provide a salty taste.

5. **Batteries**:  
   It is used in dry cell batteries, particularly in zinc-carbon batteries, where it functions as an electrolyte.

6. **Textiles and Dyeing**:  
   Ammonium chloride serves as a mordant in the textile industry, helping dyes bond to fabrics more effectively.

7. **Laboratory Use**:  
   In scientific research and labs, ammonium chloride is used in the preparation of buffer solutions and as a reagent in various chemical reactions.

8. **Water Treatment**:  
   It can be used in water treatment processes to neutralize excessive alkalinity.

These applications show ammonium chloride's versatility across industries.
