How was urea originally produced in the lab according to the text?

Concentrated sulfuric acid was accidentally added to sucrose.
Friedrich Wohler was working with ammonium cyanate & found crystals of urea in his breakers.
Cobalt chloride was added to water, which produced crystals.

Respuesta :

Friedrich Wohler was working with Ammonium Cyanate and found crystals of urea in his beakers

Answer is: Friedrich Wohler was working with ammonium cyanate & found crystals of urea in his breakers.

Urea is an organic compound with chemical formula CO(NH₂)₂

Friedrich Wohler's discovered in 1828 that urea can be produced from inorganic starting materials.

In human body, the source of these two nitrogen atoms are ammonia (NH₃) from nitrogen compounds (mostly metabolism of amino acids) through which excess nitrogen is eliminated from organisms.

This process is called urea cycle, which extracted nitrogenous wastes. The liver forms it by combining two ammonia molecules with a carbon dioxide molecule.
