  • Hydrogen Atoms in Ammonium Sulfate: A Step-by-Step Calculation
    Here's how to determine the number of hydrogen atoms in ammonium sulfate:

    1. Chemical Formula:

    Ammonium sulfate has the chemical formula (NH₄)₂SO₄.

    2. Breakdown:

    * (NH₄)₂: This indicates two ammonium ions (NH₄⁺).

    * SO₄: This is the sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻).

    3. Counting Hydrogen:

    * Each ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) has 4 hydrogen atoms.

    * Since there are two ammonium ions, there are a total of 2 * 4 = 8 hydrogen atoms.

    Answer: Ammonium sulfate ((NH₄)₂SO₄) has 8 hydrogen atoms.
