Chemically nothing, the first is in the modern standard chemical naming system and the second is an old style name that still appears in some usage but is deprecated in formal documents.
Ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3 and is formed by reacting ammonia (NH3) with nitric acid (HNO3). Ammonium sulfate is (NH4)2SO4 and is formed by reacting ammonia (NH3) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
There is no reaction
What is the difference between ammonia gas and an ammonium ion?
Ammonia is a compound with the formula NH3, it is a weak base. Ammonium is a polyatomic ion with the formula NH4+. The ammonium ion is formed when ammonia reacts with an acid and is itself mildly acidic. because it is positively charged is is not found on its own but accompanied by a negative ion such as in ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3.
No reaction will occur between Potassium Sulfate and Ammonium Nitrate.

There is no difference in terms of molecular structure but the phase it is in, can be varied in ammonium trihydride. Gas for ammonia gas.
Ammonium nitrate has an ionic bond. Ammonium has an overall charge of 1+, making it a positive cation. Nitrate has an overall charge of 1-, making it a negative anion. When bonded together, nitrate gives ammonia an electron, resulting in an ionic bond being formed between them.
Sodium nitrate is more soluble in water.
It's the same ammonium nitrate--you add some kind of fuel oil--diesel, heating fuel, jet fuel, whatever you have--to make fertilizer into explosives.
One contains sulfate ions and the other contains nitrate ions. This changes many of the physical and chemical properties of the compounds.
No, it is not used, the industrial preparation of Ammonium Nitrate depends on simple neutralization reaction between ammonia (Base) and Nitric (Acid) giving Ammonium Nitrate. Even the process of prilling or granulation doesn't include addition of Acetone. I believe the Ammonium Nitrate Acetone mixture is hazard as it is a combination of strong oxidizer and highly inflammable substance. Regards;
