Two laboratory methods:
2 NH3 + H2SO4 = (NH4)2SO4
(NH4)2CO3 + CaSO4 = (NH4)2SO4 + CaCO3

The two common ways to prepare ammonium sulphate are neutralizing ammonia gas with sulfuric acid or reacting ammonium hydroxide with sulfuric acid. In the first method, ammonia gas is bubbled through sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulphate. In the second method, ammonium hydroxide is slowly added to sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulphate.

What are two solutions which when added together produce a precipitate?
Silver nitrate and sodium sulphate produce a white precipitate, silver iodate. Zinc chloride and ammonium sulfide also produce a white precipitate, zinc sulfide. Special caution has to be taken not to let the ammonium sulfide give of gas where anyone can breathe it.
What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?
The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!
What does SO4 mean?
It's the salt, sodium sulphate. Na2 = two atoms of sodium SO4 = the sulphate ion, one sulphur and four oxygen atoms.
What two ions are produced during catabolism of glutamine?
glutamate and ammonium
What does na2 so4 mean?
It's the salt, sodium sulphate. Na2 = two atoms of sodium SO4 = the sulphate ion, one sulphur and four oxygen atoms.
How many hydrogen atoms are contained in the formula for ammonium sulfate?
Ammonium sulphate (NH4)2SO4 contains two ammonium ions per unit so there are total 8 hydrogen atoms.
What is the chemical formula for molybdenum nitrate?
The chemical formula of ammonium sulfate is (NH4)2SO4. Each molecule of ammonium sulphate contains two NH4+ ions and one SO42- ions.
Please help me I need to know what these are made up of!(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)?
This is the chemical salt 'Ammonium sulphate'. It is usually written as ' (NH4)2SO4 The (NH4)2 moiety tells us that there are '2'(two) ammoniums present. Since ammonium is made up of NH4 , then there are two(2) nitrogen (N) present and there are eight(8 = 4 x 2) hydrogen(H) present. The SO4 moiety tells us that there is one(1) sulphur (S) and there are four(4) oxygen present. Unlike the ammonium moiety there is no doubling of the sulphate moiety. Ammonium sulphate is a agricultural fertiliser.
Which type of salt is ferrous ammonium sulphate acid salt or double salt?
double salt, Containing two different cations, Fe2+ and NH4+,
What two ways can speed up the rate of dissolving copper sulphate in water?
1. Increase the temperature of the water. 2. Use copper sulphate in the finely powered form instead of copper sulphate crystals (if hydrated). 3. Stir.
What is the subscript for ammonium in ammonium dichromate?
Two (2)
What type bond is ammonium acetate?
There are two types of bonding in ammonium sulphate. In ammonium ion, ntrogen and hydrogen are bonded by covalent bonds (intermolecular / Van Der Waals forces) as both of the elements are non-metals. Between ammonium and sulphate, both ions, they are joined together by ionic bonds.
What are two solutions which when added together produce a precipitate?
Silver nitrate and sodium sulphate produce a white precipitate, silver iodate. Zinc chloride and ammonium sulfide also produce a white precipitate, zinc sulfide. Special caution has to be taken not to let the ammonium sulfide give of gas where anyone can breathe it.
What happens when ammonium hydroxide decomposes?
When ammonium hydroxide decomposes, its ions are changed into two compounds. These two compounds are the same that ammonium hydroxide is formed from. Thus, ammonium hydroxide decomposes into water and ammonia.
How many moles of ammonium ions are in 6.965 of ammonium carbonate?
As the formula for ammonium carbonate is (NH4)2CO3, there are two moles of ammonium for every mole of ammonium carbonate. Just double the given number.
What is the chemical equation for the neutralization of ammonium hydroxide with carbon dioxide?
There are two ways this can happen, depending on the relative abundances of ammonium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. It can proced like this: NH4OH + CO2 --> NH4HCO3 Or like this: 2NH4OH + CO2 --> (NH4)2CO3 + H2O
Do ionic compounds need to contain metals?
No, an ionic compound can be made up of any two substances that split into ions when put in solution (dissolved). An example of a non-metallic ionic compound is ammonium nitrate (NH4N03). When dissolved in water it separates into an ammonium ion (+NH4) and a nitrate ion (NO3).Also, whenever an acid is dissolved in water an ionic compound is formed. for example when sulfuric acid is dissolved in water it forms hydroxyl sulphate ((H30)2SO4) which separates into hydroxyl (+H3O) and sulphate ions (-2SO4).
