From the reaction of ammonia and sulfuric acid in aqueous solution 2nh3 (aq) + h2so4 (aq) → (NH4) 2SO4 + H2O will be formed. Sulfuric acid is diprotic so is able to give up 2 H + ions. It is an acid-base neutralisation reaction forming ammonium sulphate as the salt. 2NH3 with H2SO4 reacts in a neutralization reaction to form salt water, with ammonium sulphate left behind to crystallize after evaporation.
