Answer: The correct option is C) .
Explanation: The given ions are ammonium ion with +1 charge and sulfite ion with -2 charge. When the ions combined to form a compound then over all charge becomes. The over all charge becomes zero only if the positive charge equals to the negative charge.
As the ammonium ion has +1 charge and the sulfite ion has -2 charge, two ammonium ions are required for each sulfite ion. Since two ions of ammonium ion are required for each sulfite ion, the subscript of ammonium ion will be 2 and that of sulfite ion is 1. If the subscript is 1 then its not written.
Hence, the compound formula will be and the correct option is C.

Answer:
There are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C
Explanation:
To decrease the temperature of the solution there are necessaries:
4,184J/g°C×(5,0°C-25,0°C)×(100,0g+X) = -Y
8368J + 83,68J/gX = Y <em>(1)</em>
Where x are grams of NH₄NO₃ you need to add and Y is the energy that you need to decrease the heat.
Also, the energy Y will be:
Y = 25700J/mol×X
Y = 321J/g X <em>(2)</em>
Replacing (2) in (1)
8368J + 83,68J/g X = 321J/g X
8363J = 237,32J/gX
<em>X = 35,2g</em>

Thus, there are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C
