    Question: Calcium cyanamide contains nitrogen (%):

    Options:

    16
    21
    26
    33

    ✅ Explanation:
    -Calcium cyanamide (CaCNâ‚‚) is a fertilizer that contains both calcium and nitrogen.
    -The chemical formula indicates that there are two nitrogen atoms for every one molecule of calcium cyanamide.
    -To calculate the percentage of nitrogen, we need the molar masses of calcium cyanamide and nitrogen
    -Molar mass of calcium cyanamide (CaCNâ‚‚) = 40.08 (Ca) + 12.01 (C) + 2*14.01 (N) = 80.11 g/mol
    -Molar mass of nitrogen (N) = 14.01 g/mol
    -Percentage of nitrogen = (2 * Molar mass of N / Molar mass of CaCNâ‚‚) * 100
    -Percentage of nitrogen = (2 * 14.01 / 80.11) * 100 = 34.98%, which is approximately 35%.
    -However, commercial calcium cyanamide typically contains about 21% nitrogen due to impurities and the presence of other forms of nitrogen in the product.
