Ammonium sulfate reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide according to (NH4)2SO4 + 2NaOH -> 2NH3 + Na2SO4 + 2H2O. A sample of ammonium sulfate was heated with 100 cm³ of 0.500 mol dm⁻³ NaOH(aq) to ensure excess. Heating continued until all NH3 boiled off. The remaining unreacted NaOH required 27.3 cm³ of 0.600 mol dm⁻³ HCl for neutralization.

Write the ionic equation, including physical states, for the reaction between ammonium sulfate and aqueous sodium hydroxide.
