    15 - 30 - 15 indicates the percentages of Nitrogen - Phosphorus - Potassium respectively. Thus, the fertilizer has 30% Phosphorus (by mass)

    Mass of phosphorous = 5 * 0.3

    = 1.5 grams

    Atomic mass of Phosphorous:

    31

    moles = mass / Ar

    moles = 1.5 / 31

    moles = 0.048 mol
