Urea is a very important nitrogenous fertiliser. Its formula is `CON_(2)H_(4)`. Calculate the percentage of nitrogen in urea. (C = 12, O = 16, N = 14 and H = 1)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Relative molecular mass of urea, `NH_2CONH_2`
= (14 x 1 ) + (1 x 2 ) + (12 x 1) + (16 x 1) + (14 x 1) + (1 x 2 )
=14 + 2 + 12 + 16 + 14 + 2
=60
60 g of urea contains 28 gm of N
100 g of urea contains `=(28 xx100)/60` gm of N
=46.66 gm of N
Therefore percentage of nitrogen in urea = 46.66%
