When ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) and aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) react, the products formed are aluminum nitrate [Al(NO₃)₃] and ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl). The chemical equation for this reaction is:

NH₄NO₃ + AlCl₃ → Al(NO₃)₃ + NH₄Cl

In this reaction, ammonium nitrate acts as an oxidizing agent, while aluminum chloride acts as a Lewis acid. The reaction proceeds via an exchange of anions between the two reactants, resulting in the formation of the new compounds.
