1. **State the problem:** Find the molar mass of ammonium phosphate, which has the chemical formula $\mathrm{(NH_4)_3PO_4}$.
2. **Formula and important rules:** The molar mass is the sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in the formula. Use the atomic masses: $\mathrm{N = 14}$, $\mathrm{H = 1}$, $\mathrm{P = 31}$, $\mathrm{O = 16}$.
3. **Calculate the number of each atom:**
- Nitrogen (N): 3 ammonium ions, each with 1 N, total $3 \times 1 = 3$ N atoms.
- Hydrogen (H): 3 ammonium ions, each with 4 H, total $3 \times 4 = 12$ H atoms.
- Phosphorus (P): 1 atom.
- Oxygen (O): 4 atoms.
4. **Calculate molar mass:**
$$\text{Molar mass} = 3 \times 14 + 12 \times 1 + 1 \times 31 + 4 \times 16$$
$$= 42 + 12 + 31 + 64$$
$$= 149$$
5. **Answer:** The molar mass of $\mathrm{(NH_4)_3PO_4}$ is **149 g/mol**.
