Date of Experiment
Three values are often used to describe plant meals and fertilisers: a
weight percent nitrogen, a weight percent P2O5, and a weight percent K2O.
These values are commonly referred to as the percent "nitrogen,"
"phosphorus," and "potassium," although they are really generated from
nitrogen, which is generally in the form of amines and nitrates, P2O5.
OBJECTIVE
PROCEDURE
RESULT/DATA
= 0.008096 mole.
= 0.004048 mole
c) Compare your result from the amount (w/w %) stated on the label of the
plant food. Calculate the % error.
E = 15% - 16.77%
= -1.77%
CONCLUSION
As a result, determined that the plant food sample has 15% of P with 16.77% 0f
P2O5. But the minimum of water is 42.5% and 46% of soluble phosphate in usual
type of plant food.
