Solution
The correct option is D(NH4)2SO4 Sulphate ion is bivalent anion (i.e. charge is -2) and is represented as SO−24 and calcium ion is bivalent cation Ca+2 and by Crisscross method their formula is CaSO4 .Now ammonium is univalent cation given by NH+4 and hence by Crisscross method we get sulphate of ammonium formula as (NH4)2SO4.
