- To help farmers and gardeners, commercial fertilizers have a big three-number "NPK" label on the bag that gives the amounts of three key plant nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. For example, a bag of "10-10-10" fertilizer has 10% by mass nitrogen, 10% by mass potassium as potash (K₂O), and 10% by mass phosphorus as phosphate (P₂05). Suppose a certain fertilizer has the following composition: ingredient ammonium phosphate ((NHÂ)¸PO4) ((NH,),CO) potassium sulfate (K,SO4) urea inert ingredients percent by mass 14% 36% 44% 6% What should the first (nitrogen) number on the bag label be? That is, calculate the percent by mass of nitrogen in this fertilizer.

- What kind of molecule can you make by moving Cl = Chlorine and Mg=Magnesium?arrow_forwardPlatinum is an expensive and rare metal used in catalytic converters. Much research has been devoted to maximizing reactive properties of other less expensive metals by reducing their size to the nanoscale. Smaller particles are more reactive because they have a larger surface area to volume ratio. Which type of atom in a nanoparticle is more reactive? An atom on the surface of a particle An atom in the interior of a particle The location of an atom in the nanoparticle does not influence its reactivity.arrow_forwardWhat is the mass percentage of Na in NaNO₃?arrow_forward
