Answer:
The % of N in NH₄H₂PO₄ is 12.17%
Explanation:
For calculating the percentage of Nitrogen we need to calculate the mass of the whole compound first.
Molar mass of NH₄H₂PO₄ = sum of molar masses individual elements
Mass of nitrogen(14g)+ mass of hydrogen(1g) × 6+ mass of Phosphorus(31g)+mass of oxygen (16g) × 4 = 115 g
Percentage of nitrogen
molar mass of Nitrogen÷ molar mass of NH₄H₂PO₄
14÷115 = 0.1217 g
% Of N = 0.1217 × 100 = 12.17%
