0.2 moles

Mass of one mole of Ammonium Sulfate is 132 g

We can set up conversion factors/ ratios

1 mol Ammonium Sulfate = 132g of $(N$ H4 $)_2$ S $O_4$

1 mol Ammonium Sulfate / 132g of $(N$ H4 $)_2$ S $O_4$ (a)

and

132g of $(N$ H4 $)_2$ S $O_4$ / 1 mol of Ammonium Sulfate (b)

Using the conversion factor (a) we can find number of moles.

25 g $(N$ H4 $)_2$ S $O_4$ x 1 mol of Ammonium sulfate / 132g of $(N$ H4 $)_2$ S $O_4$

0.2 moles Ammonium sulfate
