Challenge

A fertilizer plant makes ammonium sulfate, (NH₄)₂SO₄ (132 g/mol), in two steps:

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g)

2NH₃(g) + H₂SO₄(aq) → (NH₄)₂SO₄(aq)

The plant runs both steps on 21 g21\ \mathrm{g} of nitrogen gas, N₂, with plenty of hydrogen and sulfuric acid, and everything reacts. What mass of ammonium sulfate does it make?
