Some of the fertilizers are sodium nitrate NaNO₃, ammonium sulphate (NH₄)₂SO₄ and urea CO(NH₂)₂. Which of these contains the highest percentage of nitrogen?

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

(i) Molar mass of NaNO₃ = 23 + 14 + 3(16) = 23 + 14 + 48 = 85 g Nitrogen in 85 g NaNO₃ = 14 g Percentage of Nitrogen in NaNO₃ = x 100 = 16.47% (ii) Molar mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ = 2[14 + 4(1)] + 32 + 4(16) = 36 + 32 + 64 = 132 g Nitrogen in 132 g of (NH₄)₂SO₄ = 28 g Percentage of Nitrogen in (NH₄)₂SO₄ = x 100 = 21.21% (iii) Molar mass of CO(NH₂)₂ = 12 + 16 + 2[14 + (2 x 1)] = 28 + 2(16) = 28 + 32 = 60 g Nitrogen in 60 g of CO(NH₂)₂ = 2 x 14 = 28 g Percentage of Nitrogen in CO(NH₂)₂ = x 100 = 46.66% So, the highest percentage of Nitrogen is in Urea.
