Yes, urea is soluble in acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid due to its amine (-NH2) groups forming salts with the acid.

How does urea work?

The nitrogen found in urea is produced when the body breaks down proteins and amino acids and its liquid form is combined with ammonia and carbon dioxide to be used in fertilizers. The urea helps the soil to become water soluble and easy to mix fertilizer.


Is urea soluble in ethanol?

Yes, urea is soluble in ethanol. Urea is a polar compound that forms hydrogen bonds with the polar solvent ethanol, which allows it to dissolve in ethanol.


What is the organ that produces urea in our body?

The liver produces urea when it metabolises (breaks down) proteins. This is done in hepatocytes (liver cells). Amino acids are first broken down into ammonia, which is highly soluble and toxic in the blood plasma, so ammonia is joined with carbon dioxide to make urea, this is less soluble and less toxic but a build up of urea is toxic in the blood. Urea is then transported in the blood to be filtered out by the kidneys.


Is urea soluble in chloroform?

Yes, urea is soluble in chloroform because it is a polar compound and chloroform is a nonpolar solvent. Polar compounds are generally soluble in nonpolar solvents like chloroform.


Does the liver convert amino acids to urea?

Yes it does


Are amino acids components of urea?

Not really. The excess amino acids are broken down to release the amine part which becomes ammonia. This ammonia combines with CO2 to form urea.


Is gasoline soluble in urea?

Gasoline is not soluble in urea because gasoline is primarily composed of hydrocarbons, which are nonpolar molecules, while urea is a polar molecule. Due to their differing polarities, these substances do not readily mix or dissolve in each other.


Does urea contain protein?

The molecular formula of the urea is NH2-CO-NH2. The proteins are long chain of many amino acids. Urea is formed out of metabolism ( break down) of the amino acids.


What is a soluble form of nitrogen waste?

Urea is a soluble form of nitrogen waste produced in the liver from ammonia. It is the primary nitrogenous waste product in mammals and most terrestrial animals.


Does urea can stand under soap and dishwater compounds?

Yes, urea is a water-soluble compound so it can dissolve in both soap and dishwater. However, urea is also heat-sensitive so exposure to high temperatures for an extended period of time could potentially degrade it.


Are acids soluble?

Yes they are.


Why are soluble salts made?

Soluble or not soluble, salts are the products of reactions between acids and bases.
