Surely there are $7 \cdot m o l$ $7* mol$ $hydrogen atoms$ $"hydrogen atoms"$ in ONE mole of $ammonium acetate$ $"ammonium acetate"$ ?

We gots the ammonium salt of acetic acid....

$"H"_3"CCO"_2"H"(aq)+"NH"_3(aq) rarr underbrace("H"_3"CCO"_2^(-)"NH"_4^+(aq))$
$" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "color(white)(/)"ammonium acetate"$

We start off with SEVEN moles of hydrogen atoms, and surely we finish with SEVEN moles of hydrogen atoms. I think that this salt can be isolated.

None.

Once an atom becomes part of a compound it is no longer an atom.
