Unit 3 assessment O1
Analysis of fertiliser-an extended experimental investigation
Background:
In this investigation you will analyse the composition of a lawn fertiliser, or ‘lawn food’.
You may use external sources to help you complete the this section.
Q1. Why is each of the elements Nitrogen, Phosphorus, sulfur and iron included in lawn food?

Q3. Briefly describe the process of volumetric analysis.
