Hg(NO₃)₂(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq)   →   2NaNO₃(aq) + HgSO₄(s)

Moles of Hg(NO₃)₂ = 55.42 / 324.7 ==> 0.1707 moles

Moles of Na₂SO₄ = 16.642 / 142.04 ==> 0.1172 moles

Limiting reagent is Na₂SO₄ as it controls product formation

Moles of HgSO₄ formed = 0.1172 moles

                                        = 0.1172 x 296.65

                                        = 34.757g
