${NH}_{3} + HCl$ $"NH"_3" + HCl"$ $\to$ $rarr$ ${NH}_{4} Cl$ $"NH"_4"Cl"$

Explanation:

In order to write the chemical equation, you need to know the correct chemical formulas for each compound.

$Ammonia :$ $"Ammonia":$ ${NH}_{3}$ $"NH"_3"$
$Hydrochloric acid :$ $"Hydrochloric acid":$ $HCl$ $"HCl"$
$Ammonium chloride :$ $"Ammonium chloride":$ ${NH}_{4} Cl$ $"NH"_4"Cl"$

Now write the formulas in the order stated in the word equation.

${NH}_{3} + HCl$ $"NH"_3" + HCl"$ $\to$ $rarr$ ${NH}_{4} Cl$ $"NH"_4"Cl"$

The equation is already balanced as written.
