The atacama desert in chile has deposits of the salt sodium nitrate. very large amounts of this salt were exported to europe for use as a fertiliser. after the introduction of the haber process in 1913, this trade rapidly diminished.1) why is the introduction of the haber process reduced the demand forsodium nitrate? 2) suggest why surface deposits of sodium nitrate only occur in areas with very low rainfall such as desert areas.3) the desert has smaller surface deposits of potassium nitrate.- suggest why potassium nitrate is a better fertiliser than the sodium salt.

A3.37-mg sample of protein was chemically digested to convert its nitrogen into ammonia and then diluted to 100.0 ml. then 10.0 ml of this solution was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask and treated with 5 ml of phenol solution plus 2 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution. the sample was diluted to 50.0 ml, and the absorbance at 625 nm was measured in a 1.00-cm cuvette and found to be 0.486. for reference, a standard solution was prepared from 10.0 mg of nh4cl (molar mass = 53.49 grams/mole) dissolved in 1.00 l of water. then 10.0 ml of this standard was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask, treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.323. finally, a reagent blank was prepared using distilled water in place of unknown, it was treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.076. calculate the weight percent of nitrogen in the protein.
