Calculate the mass of nitrogen supplied to the soil by 5Kg of urea [CO(NH2)2]?

Solution

The formula for urea is.

The molar mass for urea is 14x 2+1x 4+12+16= 60 g/mole.

In this 60 g of urea, nitrogen has a mass of 28 g.

So by simple proportion in 5 kg of urea,

nitrogen has a mass =28 x 500060 = 2333.33 g= 2.3 kg
