When ammonium chloride is heated, it decomposes into ammonia (NH\(_3\)) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas, causing damp neutral or red litmus paper to initially turn blue. This happens because the lighter ammonia gas diffuses faster and reaches the damp paper first, dissolving to form an alkaline solution.
