Question

Urea is a very important fertiliser. Its formula is CON₂H₄. Calculate the % of nitrogen in the fertilizer.

Open in App

Solution

Urea has the formula NH₂-CO-NH₂ , i.e. CON₂H₄
Molecular mass of urea = 60 g/mol

Atomic mass of N = 14 & number of atoms = 2 i.e. 28 g/mol of urea

Thus the % = 28/60 x 100 = 46.66 %
