Revise Edexcel GCSE Chemistry 6.3.3 Fertilisers and the preparation of ammonium sulfate with the question bank, lessons, revision guides, and flashcards.
Recall that fertilisers may contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compounds to promote plant growth • Describe how ammonia reacts with nitric acid to produce a salt that is used as a fertiliser • Describe and compare: • a the laboratory preparation of ammonium sulfate from ammonia solution and dilute sulfuric acid on a small scale • b the industrial production of ammonium sulfate, used as a fertiliser, in which several stages are required to produce ammonia and sulfuric acid from their raw materials and the production is carried out on a much larger scale (details of the industrial production of sulfuric acid are not required)
