Single super phosphate has chemical composition
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Single superphosphate has a chemical composition Ca(H2PO4)2.
Single Super Phosphate contains only one nutrient i.e. Phosphorus. So, it is a simple fertilizer having the chemical formula Ca(H2PO4)2.2H2O (Monocalcium Phosphate Dihydrate). In SSP, the phosphorus is in the form of P2O5 and contains 16% P2O5.
Single Superphosphate is produced by reacting naturally occurring phosphate rock with sulphuric acid. This process converts insoluble phosphates into forms more readily available to plants.
