Ammonium sulfate is made industrially from ammonia and sulfuric acid. 2NH3+H2SO4→(NH4)2SO4\mathrm{2NH_{3} + H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow (NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4}}2NH3+H2SO4→(NH4)2SO4 Relative atomic masses: H = 1, N = 14, O = 16, S = 32
What is the maximum mass of ammonium sulfate that can be made from 5.1 tonnes of ammonia?
1.3 tonnes
17.1 tonnes
19.8 tonnes
39.6 tonnes
