(d) describe the use of nitrogenous fertilisers in promoting plant growth and crop yield
(e) compare nitrogen content of salts used for fertilisers by calculating percentage masses
(f) describe eutrophication and water pollution problems caused by nitrates leaching from farm land and
explain why the high solubility of nitrates increases these problems
(g) describe the displacement of ammonia from its salts and explain why adding calcium hydroxide to
soil can cause the loss of nitrogen from added nitrogenous fertiliser
