fertiliser and refrigerant?

SSC CHSL 3rd June 2022 Shift-2

Ammonia

Potash

Urea

Phosphine

Let’s break it down:

- The systematic name “nitrogen trihydride” tells you the formula: NH3.

- That’s Ammonia. It’s hugely important in making fertilizers and also as a refrigerant.

- Potash isn’t a specific compound, but a mix of potassium salts. Not our guy.

- Urea is CO(NH2)2, another fertilizer, but totally different from NH3.

- Phosphine is PH3, with phosphorus instead of nitrogen. It’s poisonous and not mainly used as a fertilizer.

What this really means is: If you hear “nitrogen trihydride,” just think “ammonia.”
