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.

What is the appropriate control for an experiment on the effect of nitrate fertilizer on germination of sunflower seeds?
Umm...NOT putting nitrate fertilizer on the seeds in a second planting? Apparently they're not teaching the scientific method in science class any more, so let's set this experiment up properly. You want to test the effect of nitrate fertilizer on sunflower plants. You will need: some plantable sunflower seeds--go to a garden center for these. I saw a kid try a sunflower growing experiment once. He planted seeds and they didn't grow. The teacher asked him where he got the seeds..."at Torchie's." Torchie's was a gas station, and he bought roasted sunflower seeds. Those won't grow at all. Anyway, you can't go to Torchie's anymore because Mr. Torchie sold his store to someone else. But don't go there anyway. some potting soil. two planting trays. some nitrate fertilizer. two watering cans. Label one "with fertilizer." Plant the same number of seeds in both trays in soil from the same bag. Label one "with fertilizer" and one "without fertilizer." Just water the "without fertilizer" tray. Use fertilizer according to directions on the label on the "with fertilizer" tray. Except for the fertilizer, don't do anything different--put them in the same window, make sure the cat doesn't get in either tray, don't give any other reason for one tray to grow better than the other. Keep records of which one grows better. This is a good, easy, fun experiment.
Is ammonium chloride soluble in ethanol?
Yes, ethanol belongs to the alcohol functional group therefore polar, and BaCl2 is polar, so it does dissolve.
What is the chemical formula for Ammonium nitrite?
(NH4)2OAmmonium oxide does not exist. Such a molecule will break down to water and ammonia(NH4)2O -----> 2 NH3 + H2OAdded:Yes, I agree: Ammonium oxide does NOT exist! Even the ammonium hydroxide, much better known as ammonia, doesn't exist.Citation in wikipedia:Ammonium hydroxide, also known as ammonia water, ammonical liquor, ammonia liquor, aqua ammonia, or aqueous ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH3(aq). Although its name suggests a salt with composition [NH4+][OH−], it is not actually possible to isolate samples of NH4OH - it exists only in dilute aqueous solutions.NH4+ is not an alkali metal, though it forms halogenides, nitrates and other salts like K+ and Na+.In a 1M ammonia solution, about 0.42% of the ammonia is converted to ammonium, NH4+, equivalent to a pH of 11.63.NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH−.The base ionization constant isKb = [NH4+][OH-]/[NH3] = 1.8×10−5
Which one is better for titration with Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate potassium dichromate or potassium permaganate and why?
potassium dichromate
What happens when you put sodium nitrate in 30c?
it dissolves into water because the sodium nitrate is a type of salt that is better dissolving in water so when it hits 30 degrees it will already be dissolving.
Is calcium ammonium nitrate or ammonium nitrate better?
ammonium nitrate is the best because it also give nitrogen!
Do bean plants grow better with or without fertilizer?
The best soil for bean plant isthe loamy soil
Which is better calcium ammonium nitrate or ammonium nitrate?
Can not say who is better. These salts have their own unique characteristics with purpose.Ammonium Nitrate Manufacturer, PPAN Exporter, China CPAN Supplier - San Corporation sinooan.com
Which is the better fertilizer-potassium nitrate or potassium phosphate and why?
That depends on what the fertilizer for. Nitrate promotes rapid growth, phosphate promotes other things.
Why was the haber process important?
The Haber process began to produce ammonia to be oxidized to Nitrite and Nitrate and then made into nitric acid, a basic reagent for explosives. It is now used to make ammonia for ammonium nitrate for fertilizer. The Haber process uses the chemical reaction N2 + 3 H2 --> 2 NH3.
Why does the nitrogen cycle work better in aerated soil?
The nitrogen cycle works better in aerated soil because oxygen is required for the activities of nitrifying bacteria, which convert ammonium (NH4+) into nitrate (NO3-). These nitrifying bacteria are aerobic, meaning they need oxygen to carry out their metabolic processes. In aerated soil, there is better diffusion of oxygen, allowing these bacteria to thrive and efficiently convert ammonium into nitrate.
What does NH4 stand for in chemistry?
The NH4 asked about is the amonium ion, and it's written NH4+ to indicate it has a positive charge (+1). It's a cation. Wikipedia has more information on this chemically significant polyatomic ion, and you'll find that a link to that post is provided below.
Is Vigoro fertilizer better than Schultz fertilizer?
no

Which is better fertilizer or compost?
Fertilizer and compost both do the same trick
Do nitrogen fertilizers work better than no fertilizer?
Any fertilizer is better on poor soil than no fertilizer. too much of any single fertilizer is also bad for plants. Little and often is best.
Is ammonium chloride soluble in ethanol?
Yes, ethanol belongs to the alcohol functional group therefore polar, and BaCl2 is polar, so it does dissolve.
