The chief source for the production of nitrogeneous fertilizers is : (1) Ammonia (2) Nitric acid (3) Nitrogen (4) Nitrogen dioxide

1 Answer

Answer :

(1) Ammonia Explanation: Nitrogen fertilizers are often made using the Haber-Bosch process which uses natural gas for the hydrogen and nitrogen gas from the air at an elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of a catalyst to form ammonia as the end product. This ammonia is used as a feedstock for other nitrogen fertilizers, such as anhydrous ammonium nitrate and urea.
