لوری اور برونسٹڈ نظریہ بیان کرتا ہے کہ یوریا ایمفیپروٹک سالوینٹ ہے۔ اگر یہ امونیا کے ساتھ رد عمل ظاہر کرتا ہے تو یہ کام کرتا ہے؟

  1. A. Base to form
  2. B. Amphoteric to form
  3. C. Acid to form
  4. D. Neutral to form

Correct answer

Acid to form

Explanation

Explanation If urea reacts with ammonia according to the Lowry and Bronsted theory, it acts as an acid to form a neutral compound. In the reaction between urea (H₂NCONH₂) and ammonia (NH₃) , urea donates a proton (H⁺) to ammonia, turning it into the ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) and urea into its conjugate acid (HNCONH₂⁺).
