Here you go! There are 0.9307 moles in 123.0 g of the compound. I solved this by using a fence post method. I calculated the number of grams in one mol of (NH4)2 SO4 and got 132.16.
I did this by finding the atomic mass of each element on the periodic table (my work is in the color blue for this step)
After that, i divided the given mass by the mass of one mol of the compound.
The answer is 0.9307 moles!! I hope this helped you! :))

The reaction between oxygen, O2, and hydrogen, H2, to produce water can be expressed as,
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
The masses of each of the reactants are calculated below.
2H2 = 4(1.01 g) = 4.04 g
O2 = 2(16 g) = 32 g
Given 1.22 grams of oxygen, we determine the mass of hydrogen needed.
(1.22 g O2)(4.04 g H2 / 32 g O2) = 0.154 g of O2
Since there are 1.05 grams of O2 then, the limiting reactant is 1.22 grams of oxygen.
<em>Answer: 1.22 g of oxygen</em>
