1 Fertilisers are used to increase the growth of plants.

They are added to soil to provide essential plant nutrient elements.

(a) Nitrogen is one essential plant nutrient element.

Name two other essential plant nutrient elements.

(c) An example of a synthetic fertiliser is ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3.

Ammonium nitrate is produced when ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH, reacts with nitric acid, HNO3.

NH4OH(aq) + HNO3(aq) NH4NO3(aq) + H2O(l)

The relative formula masses for the reactants and products are shown in the table.

NH4OH HNO3 NH4NO3 H2O
Relative formula mass 35.0 63.0 80.0 18.0

Calculate the atom economy for the formation of NH4NO3. Use the

equation:

mass of atoms in desired product
atom economy = × 100%
total mass of atoms in reactants

Give your answer to 1 decimal place.




Atom economy = ..................................................... % [4]

Model A does not show the relative sizes of the ions.

Model C does not show the 3-D arrangement of ions.

None of the models show that sodium chloride is a compound containing two
elements.

Only one model shows that a chloride ion is an anion.
