Answer
###
amu
Explanation
## Step1: Identify the atomic masses of each element- Atomic masses: - N (Nitrogen) = 14.01 amu - H (Hydrogen) = 1.01 amu - S (Sulfur) = 32.06 amu - O (Oxygen) = 16.00 amu## Step2: Calculate the total atomic mass for
### - Two nitrogen atoms:
amu - Eight hydrogen atoms:
amu - Individual sum:
amu## Step3: Calculate the total atomic mass for
### - One sulfur atom:
amu - Four oxygen atoms:
amu - Individual sum:
amu## Step4: Combine the calculated masses### - Total mass: \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{2} + \mathrm{SO}_{4} \) - Overall sum:
