Question

ammonium cyanate on heating gives what

Answer 1

Ammonium cyanate on heating gives Urea.

Option (A).

Explanation:

• The Ammonium Cyanate is an inorganic colorless solid. It has the composition of $CH_4N_2O$ and its weight is 60 grams.

• It is usually used to produce urea which can be used as fertilisers in the fields.

• When the Ammonium Cyanate is heated it will decompose into the Ammonia and Cyanic Acid which are of the compositions $NH_3$ and HOCN respectively as the by-products of the reaction.

• Then again by processing, it will produce the Urea of the composition $(NH_2)_2CO.$.

• The reaction is:

     $N H_{4}(O C N) \rightarrow N H_{3}+H O C N \rightleftharpoons\left(N H_{2}\right)_{2} C O$.
