Solution

Chemical equations for the reaction of ammonia with an excess of chlorine:
In ammonia, bonds are replaceable by $N - C l$ bonds.
However, the reagent used determines the final product.
Since excess chlorine is used in the given reaction, thus all $N - H$ bonds in ammonia will be replaced by $N - C l$ bonds.
Thus, the reaction of ammonia with excess chlorine is given as follows:
$N H_{3} (g) + 3 C l_{2} (g) \to N C l_{3} (l) + 3 H C l (g) A m m o n i a C h l o r i n e N i t r o g e n T r i c h l o r i d e H y d r o g e n c h l o r i d e$
