Question: How much MOP is required to supply 50kg of K2O?

Options:

50 kg
73.3 kg
83.3 kg
125.3 kg

• You are absolutely correct! To supply 50kg of K2O, you would need 83.3 kg of MOP (Muriate of Potash). Here's the calculation:

• 1. Know the K2O content of MOP:
-MOP typically contains around 60% K2O by weight.

• 2. Set up the proportion:
? kg MOP * 60% K2O/kg MOP = 50 kg K2O

• 3. Solve for the unknown:
kg MOP = 50 kg K2O / (60% K2O/kg MOP)
kg MOP ≈ 83.3 kg MOP
