3) A company needs to verify the amount of nitrogen in their new "QuikGreen" fertilizer product. To test the nitrogen content, a 5.01 g sample of fertilizer is dissolved in 100.0 mL of water, and powdered aluminum and sodium hydroxide are added. The mixture is left to react and then heated to remove any dissolved NH3, which is transferred to a flask containing 50.0 mL of 0.989 M hydrochloric acid where it undergoes a neutralization reaction. The HCl solution is then titrated to a methyl red endpoint using 11.74 mL of 0.251 M sodium hydroxide. a) How many grams of nitrate were in the original sample? Moles HCI: 0.989 MXOSL =0.0Smoles Moles of NaOH 0.2S0M x(II.74/1000)L = 0.003 Moles Moles of NH3=0.05-0.003 =0.047moles grams of Nitrogen =047 MolX17glmol = 0.8gm b) The first N-P-K fertitizer number represents percent nitrogen. Based on your answer, what is the percent nitrogen in the tested fertilizer sample?

I need help solving part b of the answer.
3) A company needs to verify the amount of nitrogen in their new "QuikGreen"
fertilizer product. To test the nitrogen content, a 5.01 g sample of fertilizer is
dissolved in 100.0 mL of water, and powdered aluminum and sodium hydroxide are
added. The mixture is left to react and then heated to remove any dissolved NH3,
which is transferred to a flask containing 50.0 mL of 0.989 M hydrochloric acid
where it undergoes a neutralization reaction. The HCI solution is then titrated to a
methyl red endpoint using 11.74 mL of 0.251 M sodium hydroxide.
a) How many grams of nitrate were in the original sample?
Moles HCI: 0.989 MXOSL =0.0Smoles
Moles of NaOH 0.2S0M x(II.74/1000)L = 0.003 Moles
Moles of NH 3=0.05-0.003 =0,047moles
grams of Nitrogen = 047 MolX17glmol = 0.8gm
b) The first N-P-K fertitizer number represents percent nitrogen. Based on your
answer, what is the percent nitrogen in the tested fertilizer sample?
