Surely there are #7* mol# #"hydrogen atoms"# in ONE mole of #"ammonium acetate"#?

We gots the ammonium salt of acetic acid....

#"H"_3"CCO"_2"H"(aq)+"NH"_3(aq) rarr underbrace("H"_3"CCO"_2^(-)"NH"_4^+(aq))#
#" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "color(white)(/)"ammonium acetate"#

We start off with SEVEN moles of hydrogen atoms, and surely we finish with SEVEN moles of hydrogen atoms. I think that this salt can be isolated.

None.

Once an atom becomes part of a compound it is no longer an atom.
