Find the formula and molar mass for ammonium nitrate. The Chemistry of Crop RotationBackground Information:Plants need nitrogen to make amino acids, butthey can't use the N2 in the air, which is whyfarmers and gardeners often turn to fertilizer.Fertilizer is made up of sources of nitrogenthat the plant can use, among other things.One of the most common components used isammonium nitrate, because of its highpercent composition of nitrogen and becauseall of that nitrogen is in forms that the plantcan use.1. Find the formula and molar mass for ammonium nitrate.Formula:Molar mass:2. What is the percent composition of nitrogen in ammonium nitrate?Answer:The situation:It is standard practice for farmers to rotate their crops - that is, instead of planting corn every year,because corn depletes the nitrogen in the soil, farmers will alternate planting soybeans, which addnitrogen to the soil.Two farmers, Billy and Bob, each have farms that grow corn. Billy rotates his corn crop with soybeans,but Bob does not. This year, both farmers are planting only corn. Both farmers will need to buy somefertilizer to add nitrogen to the soil, but Billy's farm has some nitrogen from last year's crop of soybeans,while Bob's farm is totally depleted of nitrogen.

World production of chromite (FeCr₂O₄), the main ore ofchromium, was 1.5107metric tons in 2003. To isolate chro-mium, a mixture of chromite and sodium carbonate is heated inair to form sodium chromate, iron(III) oxide, and carbon diox-ide. The sodium chromate is dissolved in water, and this solutionis acidified with sulfuric acid to produce the less soluble sodiumdichromate. The sodium dichromate is filtered out and reduced with carbon to produce chromium(III) oxide, sodium carbonate,and carbon monoxide. The chromium(III) oxide is then reduced to chromium with aluminum metal. (a) Write balanced equations for each step. (b) What mass of chromium (in kg) could be pre-pared from the 2003 world production of chromite?

A scientist was tasked to extract Fe from an aqueous suspension that contains 106 g of Fe2O3. The following steps detail the transformation of Fe2O3 (aq) to elemental iron: I. Enough sulfur trioxide gas was bubbled to Fe2O3 aqueous suspension to completely yield ferric sulfate. II. Then, 5.00 M nitric acid was added to ferric sulfate yielding an aqueous solution of ferric nitrate. III. Excess magnesium powder was added to the aqueous solution of ferric nitrate precipitating the solid iron ----- a.

The use of silica to form slag in the production of phospho-rus from phosphate rock was introduced by Robert Boyle morethan 300 years ago. When fluorapatite [Ca₅(PO₄)₃F] is used inphosphorus production, most of the fluorine atoms appear in theslag, but some end up in toxic and corrosive SiF₄ (g).(a) If 15% by mass of the fluorine in 100. kg of Ca₅(PO₄)₃F forms SiF₄, what volume of this gas is collected at 1.00 atm andthe industrial furnace temperature of 1450.°C?(b) In some facilities, the SiF₄ is used to produce sodium hexa-fluorosilicate (Na₄SiF₆) which is sold for water fluoridation: 2SiF₄(g)+Na₂CO₃(s)+H₂O(l) →Na₂SiF₆(aq)+SiO₂(s)+CO₂(g)+2HF(aq) How many cubic meters of drinking water can be fluoridated toa level of 1.0 ppm of Fusing the SiF₄ produced in part (a)?
A 1.1324 g sample of magnetite ore was dissolved in concentrated HCl to give a solution that contained a mixture of Fe2+ and Fe3+. Nitric acid was added and the solution was boiled for a few minutes, which converted all of the iron to Fe3+. The Fe3+ was then precipitated as Fe2O3*xH2O by addition of NH3. After filtration and washing, the residue was ignited at a high temp to give 0.5394 g of pure Fe2O3. What is the percent Fe and the percent Fe3O4 in the sample?
