A garden centre sells four fertilisers that each contain nitrogen.
Use the equation: percentage of nitrogen = (total ArA_{r}Ar of nitrogen atoms ÷\div÷ MrM_{r}Mr) × \times\,× 100
Relative atomic mass (ArA_{r}Ar): H = 1.0 N = 14.0 O = 16.0 P = 31.0 Cl = 35.5 Ca = 40.1
Which fertiliser contains the lowest percentage by mass of nitrogen?
Ammonium phosphate, (NH4)3PO4\mathrm{(NH_{4})_{3}PO_{4}}(NH4)3PO4
Diammonium phosphate, (NH4)2HPO4\mathrm{(NH_{4})_{2}HPO_{4}}(NH4)2HPO4
Ammonium chloride, NH4Cl\mathrm{NH_{4}Cl}NH4Cl
Calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2\mathrm{Ca(NO_{3})_{2}}Ca(NO3)2
