It is indeed an acid base reaction; but the base is NEUTRAL ammonia, not ammonium hydroxide.

Explanation:

$H_{4} N O H$ $H_4NOH$ is commercially available as ammonium hydroxide. A better representation would be as concentrated aqueous ammonia, i.e. $N H_{3} (a q)$ $NH_3(aq)$ or $N H_{3} \cdot O H_{2}$ $NH_(3)*OH_2$ ; this latter representation has the same formula as $N H_{4} O H$ $NH_4OH$ .

So the rxn:

$H C l (a q) + N H_{3} (a q) \to N H_{4}^{+} + C l^{-}$ $HCl(aq) + NH_3(aq) rarr NH_4^+ + Cl^-$

Thus $N H_{4} O H \equiv N H_{3} \cdot O H_{2}$ $NH_4OH -= NH_3*OH_2$ , hydrated ammonia.
