A typical solid fertiliser for use with household plants and shrubs contains the elements N, P, and
K in the ratio of 15 g : 30 g :15 g per 100 g of fertiliser. The recommended usage of fertiliser is 14 g
of fertiliser per 5 dm3 of water.
What is the concentration of nitrogen atoms in this solution?
A 0.03 mol dm–3
B 0.05 mol dm–3
C 0.42 mol dm–3
D 0.75 mol dm–3
can anyone help me with it???? plz
Ans : A
- the percentage of N is the fertiliser is 15/100 = 0.15%
- in 14g of fertiliser, the amount of N is 14 x 0.15 = 2.1g
- the number of moles of N is 2.1g of N is 2.1/14 = 0.15 mole
- concentration = mole/volume, hence, 0.15/5 = 0.03moldm-3
right?
