Question 2 • LA-Chemistry A

Which is the formula mass of (NH4)2SO4?

Answer
A
96.07 amu
B
114.12 amu
C
116.17 amu
D
132.17 amu

Explanation

In (NH₄)₂SO₄, the subscripts give 2 nitrogen atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms. Using rounded atomic masses, the total is 2(14.01) + 8(1.01) + 32.07 + 4(16.00) = 132.17 amu. So the formula mass is 132.17 amu, choice D.
