25 - 28% N
C.
33 - 35% N
AnswerD.
15 - 20% N
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Ammonium nitrate contains 33 - 35% N.Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula NH4NO3. It is a white crystalline salt consisting of ions of ammonium and nitrate. It is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic as a solid, although it does not form hydrates.
Ammonium nitrate is an important fertilizer with an NPK rating of 34-0-0 (34% nitrogen). Ammonium nitrate's advantage over urea is that it is more stable and does not rapidly lose nitrogen to the atmosphere.
