Answer:
43.75 g of Nitrogen
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the mass of 1 mole of NH₄NO₃. This can be obtained as follow:
Mole of NH₄NO₃ = 1 mole
Molar mass of NH₄NO₃ = 14 + (4×1) + 14 + (3×16)
= 14 + 4 + 14 + 48
= 80 g/mol
Mass of NH₄NO₃ =?
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of NH₄NO₃ = 1 × 80 = 80 g
Next, we shall determine the mass of N in 1 mole of NH₄NO₃.
Mass of N in NH₄NO₃ = 2N
= 2 × 14
= 28 g
Thus,
80 g of NH₄NO₃ contains 28 g of N.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of N in 125 g of NH₄NO₃. This can be obtained as follow:
80 g of NH₄NO₃ contains 28 g of N.
Therefore, 125 g of NH₄NO₃ will contain = (125 × 28) / 80 = 43.75 g of N.
Thus, 125 g of NH₄NO₃ contains 43.75 g of Nitrogen
