Answer
\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}
Explanation
1. Determine the charges of ions The ammonium ion
has a charge of ( +1 ), and the sulfate ion
has a charge of ( -2 ).2. Balance the charges To balance the charges, we need two ammonium ions to neutralize one sulfate ion. This is because \( 2 \times (+1) = +2 \), which balances the ( -2 ) charge of the sulfate ion.3. Write the chemical formula Combine two ammonium ions with one sulfate ion to form the compound. The correct formula is \( \left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \).
