Answer: Molar mass of
(NH_4)_2SO_4 is 132.17 g/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Molar mass is defined as the mass of each element present in a 1 mole of a given compound. It is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).

For calculating the molar mass of ammonium sulfate having chemical formula
(NH_4)_2SO_4 which contains 2 atoms of nitrogen, 8 atoms of hydrogen, 1 atom of sulfur and 4 atoms of oxygen.

We are given:

Mass of Nitrogen = 14.01 g/mol

Mass of Hydrogen 1.01 g/mol

Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol

Mass of Sulfur = 32.07 g/mol

Calculating the molar mass of ammonium sulfate, we get:


(NH_4)_2SO_4=[(2* 14.01)+(8* 1.01)+32.07+(4* 16)]g/mol=132.17g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of
(NH_4)_2SO_4 is 132.17 g/mol
