Answer:

The correct option is: c. 15

Explanation:

Phosphorous is a chemical element which belongs to the group 15 of the periodic table and has atomic number 15. It is a highly reactive non-metal of the p-group.  

Since, atomic number of an atom is the number of electrons and number of protons for neutral atoms.

So, the number of protons = number of electrons = 15

The atomic mass is obtained by adding the number of neutrons and the protons.

So, number of neutrons + number of protons = 30

So, number of neutrons + 15 = 30

Therefore, the number of neutrons in ³⁰P = 15

<h3>Answer:</h3>

        NH₃ > NH₄NO₃ > (NH₄)₂HPO₄ > (NH₄)₂SO₄ > KNO₃ > (NH₄)H₂PO₄

<h3>Soution:</h3>

In (NH₄)₂HPO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 2  =  14 × 2  =  28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄  =  132.06 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ × 100

Mass %age  =  28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.06 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  21.20 %

In (NH₄)₂SO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 2  =  14 × 2  =  28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄  =  132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ × 100

Mass %age  =  28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.14 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  21.18 %

In KNO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 1  =  14 × 1  =  14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of KNO₃  =  101.10 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of KNO₃ × 100

Mass %age  =  14 g.mol⁻¹ / 101.10 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  13.84 %

In (NH₄)H₂PO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 1  =  14 × 1  =  14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄  =  115.03 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ × 100

Mass %age  =  14 g.mol⁻¹ / 115.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  12.17 %

In NH₃:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 1  =  14 × 1  =  14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₃  =  132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₃ × 100

Mass %age  =  14 g.mol⁻¹ / 17.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  82.20 %

In NH₄NO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 2  =  14 × 2  =  28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃  =  80.04 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₄NO₃ × 100

Mass %age  =  28 g.mol⁻¹ / 80.04 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  34.98 %
