Ammonium sulfate, a key synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, is manufactured by reacting ammonia gas with sulfuric acid according to the equation:

2NH3(g)+H2SO4(aq)→(NH4)2SO4(aq)2\text{NH}_3(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4(\text{aq}) \rightarrow (\text{NH}_4)_2\text{SO}_4(\text{aq})2NH3​(g)+H2​SO4​(aq)→(NH4​)2​SO4​(aq)

Explain, by referring to this chemical equation, how it demonstrates that the atom economy of this process is 100%100\%100%.
