Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, formed from the reaction of phosphoric acid with ammonia, is used as a crop fertilizer as well as a component of some fire extinguishers, (a) what are the mass percentages of n and p in the compound? (b) how much ammonia is incorporated into 100. g of compound?

a)The mass percentages of nitrogen and phosphorus in the compound is 24.34% and 26.95% respectively.

b) 14.78 grams ammonia is incorporated into 100. g of compound.

Explanation:

a) Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate that is .

Molecular mass of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate = M

M = 115 g/mol

Percentage of an element in a compound:

Percentage of nitrogen:

Percentage of phosphorus:

b) Percentage of ammonia in 1 molecule of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate.

Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g/mol

Amount of ammonia in 100 grams of compound:

14.78% of 100 g of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate:

14.78 grams ammonia is incorporated into 100. g of compound.

i believe the answer is three water molecules
