Question

Arrange the following in increasing the amount of nitrogen in the fertilizers:
(A) Ammonium sulphate
(B) Ammonium nitrate
(C) Ammonium chloride
(D) Calcium ammonium nitrate

• A. (A), (B), (C), (D)
• B. (A), (C), (B), (D
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C)
• D. (A), (C), (D), (B)

Hint:

Memorize typical N\% values for common fertilizers to easily answer such order-based questions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Compute N percent by formula: ammonium sulphate is about 21 percent.
Step 2: Ammonium chloride is about 25 percent, calcium ammonium nitrate about 26 percent (diluted by carbonate filler).
Step 3: Ammonium nitrate has two N atoms per formula unit, giving about 34 percent, the highest.
Step 4: Increasing order is (A), (C), (D), (B), matching the fourth option.
