Explanation:
A base reacts with an ammonium salt in the following word equation:
We got here the unbalanced equation:
Here, let's balance the nitrogens first. There are two on the left due to the presence of ammonium sulfate, but only one on the right because of one ammonia molecule, so we multiply ammonia by two and get:
Now, I see that there are
Final step is to balance the oxygen. Surprisingly, multiplying
