Does Urea contain nitrogen?
Yes, Urea does contain Nitrogen (N). Two Nitrogen atoms are covalently bonded to the molecule (as amines) which is just under half of urea's total mass (urea is 47% Nitrogen b…y weight). The Chemical formula for Urea is CO(NH2)2. From a biochemistry perspective, urea is your body's way of excreting the leftovers from processing protein as well as from amino acids or ammonia as these would be very toxic if not excreted properly. It's the same nitrogen found in some fertilizers, but the amount of urine needed to create a bomb or meth would be far beyond the ability of the body (or several) to produce. You would need about 200 cows to fill a nurse tank with enough ammonia for illegal uses. (That's a lot of Mountain Dew!!!) If you're asking more only because you're curious, a web search brought up many helpful links, including wise geek. :-) Have fun and stay curious! (MORE)
