2NaOCl + 2NH3 --> 2NaONH3 + Cl2
Chlorine gas is liberated from the bleach, and is harmful when inhaled
*EDIT*
This is the reaction when ammonia and the household cleaner bleach reacts.

Chlorine will remove hydrogen from ammonia with the formation of nitrogen and hydrogen chloride. The latter then combines with excess ammonia to form ammonium chloride.
2NH3(g) + 3Cl2(g) ----> N2(g) + 6HCl(g) then it goes to
6HCl(g) + 6NH3(g) -----> 6NH4Cl(s). The toxic gas produced should be the hydrogen chloride gas (HCl).

well, ammoniun is NH4 and chlorine is Cl, and since both are + and - 1, the formula is NH4Cl.
Umm...if youre reacting those two, the name is Ammonium Chloride...and its not a gas...its a base.
