How many electrons does phosphorus need to achieve noble gas electron configuration? Nitrogen gains 3 electrons when it forms an ion. The electron configuration of a chlorine ion is the same as which noble gas?
In the November 10 report, the anhydrous ammonia price was reported at an average of $405 per ton, with an offer range from $343 per ton up to $440 per ton. Anhydrous ammonia prices have averaged $404 per ton during the months of September, October, and November of 2017.
To get 170 pounds of nitrogen, a total of 207 pounds of anhydrous ammonia needs to be applied (207 = 170 pounds of N / .82 of N per pound of nitrogen). The costs of 207 pounds of anhydrous ammonia is $41.88 per acre when a $404 per ton anhydrous ammonia price is used to represent 2017 prices. The $504 per ton price in 2016 results in a nitrogen fertilizer costs of $52.24 per acre. The costs savings for anhydrous ammonia then is $10.36 per acre. The $10 per acre in nitrogen savings can vary.
