Single super phosphate has chemical composition
A. (NH4)2 HOP4
B. 3 Ca (H2PO4)2
C. Ca(H2PO4)2
D. None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
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.
