In Fertilisers, what are the 3 Main Elements? What happens if these Elements are Missing? | It is
-Nitrogen
-Phosphorus
-Potassium
-Their Growth and Life Process are Affected for the Worst if the Elements are missing |
What do Fertilisers provide? | -They provide the Missing Elements in the Soil // It provides even More of the Elements that is Needed for Growth |
How can you make:
-Ammonium Nitrate
-Ammonium Sulphate
-Ammonium Phosphate
-Potassium Nitrate | 1. Neutralising Nitric acid with Ammonia makes Ammonium Nitrate
2. Neutralising Sulphuric Acid with Ammonia makes Ammonium Sulphate
3. Ammonium Phosphate is Neutralised with Phosphoric Acid
4. Neutralising Nitric Acid with Potassium |
State how the Industry's get the Ingredients for the Fertilisers | -Ammonia is Gained from the Haber Process
-Phosphoric Acid is Gained from Phosphate Rock
-Sulphuric Acid is Gained from the Contact Process
-Nitric Acid is Gained from Dissolving Nitrogen Dioxide in 68% of Nitric Acid |
What do you need to make a Fertiliser in a Lab? | -An Acid: Nitric, Sulphuric or Phosphoric
-An Alkali: Ammonia or Potassium Hydroxide
-A Titration fully set up |
Explain the Process of making Ammonium Sulphate in a Laboratory | -First, set up the Titration with the Sulphuric Acid in the Burette and have the Ammonia Solution [with Indicator] in a Flask
-Then, slowly add the Sulphuric Acid in until the Colour Changes, meaning the Ammonia has been Neutralised
-Then, note how much Sulphuric Acid you used, as because you need to do it Again as because the Indicator isn't Needed. So do the Entire Process again with that Amount of Acid again
-Getting Solid Ammonia Sulphate Crystals requires some of the Solution to be Heated with a Steam Bath, and then Crystallising the rest of the Solution [Should be a little bit left] |
