It is just the name for the fertiliser containing phosphorous and coated by a sulphur prill.
Triple super phosphate is generally more effective, as it has higher phosphorous (P) levels. However if you need to raise the level of sulphur (S) in your soil you may be better off with normal super, as it has higher S levels. Also, keep in mind that triple super is usually more expensive.
Rock phosphate is made to react with concentrated sulphuric acid which produces a mixture of calcium sulphate and calcium-di-hydrogen phosphate. This is super phosphate.Equation Ca3(PO4)2+2H2SO4 => 2CaSO4+Ca(H2PO4)2
Single superphosphate is made by reacting phosphate rock with sulfuric acid to produce phosphoric acid. This phosphoric acid is then mixed with phosphate fertilizer to produce single superphosphate. The mixture is granulated and dried before being ready for use as a fertilizer.
Super phosphate is calcium dihydrogen phosphate. It can be prepared by reacting sulfuric acid with calcium phosphate :Calcium phosphate + Sulfuric acid ----> Calcium sulfate + Calcium dihydrogen phosphate3 Ca3(PO4)2 + 6 H2SO4 ----> 6 CaSO4 + 3 Ca(H2PO4)2
Fresh super is quite a dark grey colour. However by the time it's ready for farm use it should be an almost white colour.
super phosphate is a dangerous adulterant
Phosphate is made up of phosphorus, oxygen, and sometimes other elements such as hydrogen or calcium. It is a chemical compound that plays an essential role in biological processes, including energy transfer in cells and the formation of bones and teeth.
No. It doesn't contain any nitrogen. It contains 8.8% phosphorus (P) and 11 % sulfur (S) as sulfate.
AgPO4 is called silver phosphate. It is a chemical compound made up of silver and phosphate ions.
The DNA backbone, are made of alternating sugars and phosphate groups.
It is made from sodium, phosphorus and oxygen.
The backbone of the DNA molecule is made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules. These sugar-phosphate chains are connected by covalent bonds.
