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؟
- A. Base to form
- B. Amphoteric to form
- C. Acid to form
- 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⁺).
