Borek said:Reaction takes place in water, so there is no problem with water source, don't you think?
Main problem is how to calculate amount of iron, ammonia and sulfuric acid. But it is not that difficult. Two possible ways - one, write total reaction of synthesis (that is, but ammonia, iron and sulfuric acid on the left, Mohr's salt on the right) and do simple stoichiometry. Second - how many moles of iron per 1 mole of Mohr's salt? How many moles of ammonia? Of sulfuric acid? Can you use this information to calculate how much of each reactant you will need to produce 1 mole of Mohr's salt?
Borek said:Yes. But from your equations I got the impression that you start not with sulfates, but with iron and ammonia.

Mohr's Salt, also known as ferrous ammonium sulfate, is a type of double salt that is commonly used in chemistry experiments and industrial processes. It is a combination of ferrous sulfate and ammonium sulfate, and has the chemical formula FeSO4·(NH4)2SO4·6H2O.
Mohr's Salt is commonly used in experiments because it is relatively inexpensive, readily available, and has a variety of uses. It can be used as a reducing agent, a source of sulfur, and a standard for titration experiments.
Mohr's Salt is typically made by mixing solutions of ferrous sulfate and ammonium sulfate until the desired ratio is achieved. The resulting solution is then allowed to crystallize, forming the characteristic green crystals of Mohr's Salt.
When handling Mohr's Salt, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, as it can irritate the skin and eyes. It is also important to avoid inhaling the dust, as it may cause respiratory irritation.
Mohr's Salt can be substituted with other chemicals, such as ferrous sulfate and ammonium sulfate, but the resulting solution may not have the exact same properties. It is important to consult a reliable source or conduct experiments to determine appropriate substitutions for specific purposes.
