Question

with equation show the production of fertilizer from ammoniacal liquor

Answer 1

Answer:

Today's industries use the Haber process to synthesize ammonia, but it wasn't invented until the early 20th century.

Back in 1898, Sir William Cook, a British chemist, predicted that part of humanity could be faced with the prospect of starving to death because of lack of nitrogen fertilizer for plant growth. At that time, almost all nitrogen in the soil, as nitrate, was fixed over hundreds of years by microorganisms, and those rich organic soils were rapidly depleting. Already, industrialized countries, like Germany, were relying on animal manure, like guano from South America, to make nitrogen-based fertilizers.
