Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Cation

The given compound is \((\mathrm{NH}_4)_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\). The cation in this compound is \(\mathrm{NH}_4^+\), which is known as the ammonium ion.

Step 2: Identify the Anion

The anion in this compound is \(\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}\), which is known as the sulfate ion.

Step 3: Combine the Names of the Ions

To name the ionic compound, combine the names of the cation and the anion. Therefore, the name of \((\mathrm{NH}_4)_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) is ammonium sulfate.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{ammonium sulfate}} \]
