Urea Industrial Grade
Urea is an organic compound. It was first found in urine in 1773 by the French chemist Jean Rouelle. It is also called Carbamide, and its chemical names are Carbonyl Diamide (used in inorganic chemistry) and Diaminomethanal (used inorganic chemistry).
It is a colorless, odorless solid, highly soluble in water, and practically non-toxic] Dissolved in water, it is neither acidic nor alkaline. The body uses it in many processes, most notably nitrogen excretion. The liver forms it by combining two ammonia molecules (NH3) with a carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule in the urea cycle. Urea is widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen (N) and is an important raw material for the chemical industry.
Urea is a weak base, with a pKb of 13.9.[5] When combined with strong acids, it undergoes protonation at oxygen to form uronium salts.[13][14] It is also a Lewis base, forming metal complexes of the type [M(urea)6]n+.[15]
