Solution

In neutralization reaction, alkali $(N a O H)$ reacts with ammonium salt $(N H_{4} C l)$ to form Sodium chloride $(N a C l)$ , ammonia gas, and water.
The reaction can be given as follows:
$N H_{4} C l (a q) + N a O H (a q) \to N H_{3} (a q) + H_{2} O (l) + N a C l (a q) A m m o n i u m C h l o r i d e S o d i u m h y d r o x i d e A m m o n i a W a t e r S o d i u m C h l o r i d e$
Thus, ammonium salts react with alkalis to liberate ammonia.
