Let's do apples and oranges. If you had 10 lbs apples and 10 lbs oranges what percent apples do you have. That't 50%, of course, How did you get that. %apples = (lbs apples/total weight in lbs)*100 = (10/20)*100 = 50. So you have a chemistry problem and not apples and oranges BUT it works the same way.
%N = (mass N/molar mass NH4NO3)*100 = ? Don't forget there are 2 N atoms in NH4NO3.
Do (NH4)2SO4 the same way.
Post your work if you get stuck. Don't let the word "chemistry" intimidate you.
calculate the percentage of nitrogen in the following fertilizer i NH4NO3 ii NH4/2SO4
