The number of nitrogen atoms present in 160 amu of ammonium nitrate are:

Correct answer: A. 4

  • A. 4
  • B. 5
  • C. 6
  • D. 8

Explanation

1 molecule of NH4NO3 = 80 amuAs 2 times 80 is 160, therefore by balanced chemical equation, 160 amu of NH4 are present in two molecules.80 amu : 1 molecule80 × 2 amu : 2 molecules160 amu : 2 molecules
