Concept explainers
The percentage of nitrogen by mass in each of the given compound has to be calculated.
Answer to Problem 19E
Percentage mass of nitrogen in urea is 47 percent.
Percentage mass of nitrogen in Ammonium nitrate is 35 percent.
Percentage mass of nitrogen in Ammonium sulfate is 21 percent.
Explanation of Solution
Mole of any elements is defined as “The amount of the element whose, mass in grams is equal to the
Avogadro’s number (
The product of total number of moles and the atomic mass of the substance gives the total mass of the substance.
Formula mass of urea (
Formula mass of Urea can be calculated as,
Therefore,
The percentage mass of nitrogen in urea is 47 percent.
Formula mass of ammonium nitrate (
Formula mass of Ammonium nitrate can be calculated as,
Therefore,
The percentage mass of nitrogen in ammonium nitrate is 35 percent.
Formula mass of ammonium sulfate (
Formula mass of Ammonium sulfate can be calculated as,
Therefore,
The percentage mass of nitrogen in ammonium sulfate is 21 percent.
Conclusion:
The percentage of nitrogen by mass in each of the given compound was calculated.
