nitrogen is often (though not always) the limiting factor in plant growth, and since both the ammonium (NH3) and the nitrate (NO3) both contain nitrogen (N) and plants can absorb both these molecules, it can inhance plant growth.

Does fertiliser burn?
A lot of fertilizer contains ammonium nitrate (NH4-NO3) which will detonate if it is pure enough and started with a blasting cap. If simply placed on a fire it may or may not burn depending on the purity of ammonium nitrate. If diesel fuel is added to ammonium nitrate fertilizer it is called a Fuel-Oxidizer fire, or fuel oxidizer bomb as the case may be.
Is calcium ammonium nitrate or ammonium nitrate better?
ammonium nitrate is the best because it also give nitrogen!
Is ammonium nitrate a compound?
Yes, ammonium nitrate is a compound.
What is the name of NH4NO3?
Here I'll show you how to do it so that you are able to another one. NH4 = Ammonium NO3 = Nitrate Simple. Memorize your polyatomic ions. It REALLY helps. It is ammonium nitrate.
Is ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate same?
No. Ammonium nitrate contains the ammonium ion NH4+, and has the formula NH4NO3, and sodium nitrate has the formula NaNO3.
Why ammonium nitrate is better fertilizer than ammonium chloride?
Ammonium nitrate not only contains ammonium ions (the fertiliser component of the molecule) it also contains Nitrate ions which are also a fertilising compound and so much more nitrogen is added to the soil.
Which acid could be used to make ammonium nitrate (a type of fertiliser)?
This is the nitric acid - HNO3.
How salts are used in fertiliser?
- potassium chloride - ammonium and calcium nitrate - ammonium and sodium phosphates - ammonium sulfate etc.
Whats the most important element in ammonium nitrate for use as a fertiliser?
Ammonium nitrate is 34% nitrogen. This is most important element for use as a fertilizer. It helps to restore depleted nitrogen to the store.Ê

How would you distinguish between zinc nitrate and calcium nitrate?
Calcium nitride is Ca3N2 and is basic. Calcium nitrate is Ca(NO3)2 and is neutral.
Is ammonium nitrate basic?
No, ammonium nitrate is acidic.
Is calcium ammonium nitrate or ammonium nitrate better?
ammonium nitrate is the best because it also give nitrogen!
What is the difference between ammonium nitrate and ammonium chloride?
