The N value in NPK labels represents actual percentage of nitrogen element by weight, so it does not need to be converted. So, for example, an 18−51−20 fertilizer contains by weight 18% elemental nitrogen, 0.436 × 51 = 22% elemental phosphorus, and; 0.83 × 20 = 17% elemental potassium.
Thiosulfate (IUPAC-recommended spelling; sometimes thiosulphate in British English) is an oxyanion of sulfur with the chemical formula S 2 O 2− 3. Thiosulfate also refers to the compounds containing this anion, which are the salts of thiosulfuric acid , such as sodium thiosulfate Na 2 S 2 O 3 and ammonium thiosulfate (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 3 .
Ammonium sulfate (American English and international scientific usage; ammonium sulphate in British English); (NH 4) 2 SO 4, is an inorganic salt with a number of commercial uses. The most common use is as a soil fertilizer. It contains 21% nitrogen and 24% sulfur.

Fixation is commonly achieved by treating the film or paper with a solution of thiosulfate salt. Popular salts are sodium thiosulfate—commonly called hypo—and ammonium thiosulfate—commonly used in modern rapid fixer formulae. [1] Fixation by thiosulfate involves these chemical reactions (X = halide, typically Br −): [2]
Allicin, S-benzyl phenylmethanethiosulfinate, and related thiosulfinates show radical-trapping antioxidant activity associated with easy formation of sulfenic acids [12] The acyclic thiosulfinates from Allium and Brassica species possess antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antitumor and cysteine protease inhibitory activity while the natural 1,2-dithiolane-1-oxides are growth inhibitors.
