Answer: NH3 and H2O

Step-by-step explanation:

NH4OH(l) --> NH3(g) + H2O(g)

Ammonia liquor, NH4OH is an highly unstable hydroxide of ammonium, hence it decomposes on heating to produce ammonia gas, NH3 which is liberated to the surroundings and water, H2O evaporated as steam. In a reverse reaction, ammoniacal liquor is formed by dissolving gaseous ammonia in cold water.

Thus, the products of NH4OH break down are NH3 and H2O
