Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) are the main nutrients in plant fertilizers. According to an industry convention, the numbers on the label refer to the mass percents of N, P2O5, and K2O, in that order. Calculate the N:P:K ratio of a 30:10:10 fertilizer in terms of moles of each element, and express it as X:y:1.0.

it contains 30 percent nitrogen,10 percent p2o5,10 percent k20 and remaining 50 percent other compounds..Assume there is no p or n or k in the remaining 50 percent..

convert mass percent into moles

i.e no. of moles of n in 30g n,p in 10g p2o5 and k in 10g k20 ..basic mole concept
