<span>We need to calculate the equivalent amount in units of moles of ammonium ions from the mass units. For this we need the molar mass of the substances involved. We calculate as follows:
31.3 g </span>(NH4)2CO3 ( 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 / 96.09 g (NH4)2CO3) ( 2 mol NH4 / 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 ) = 0.65 mol <span>ammonium ions</span>
I think its because its more accurate because it shows you the numbers rather than you reading the approximate temperature on a liquid thermometer
