    Urea

    A)                 Is an amide of carbonic acid

    B)                 It is diamide of carbonic acid

    C)                 Gives carbonic acid on hydrolysis

    D)                 Resembles carbonic acid

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Urea is the diamide of carbonic acid.                    \[\underset{\text{carbonic acid}}{\mathop{HO-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-OH}}\,+2N{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{-{{H}_{2}}O}\underset{\text{Urea}}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}N-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-N{{H}_{2}}}}\,\]                                 So two mole of \[N{{H}_{3}}\] required that why it is the diamide of carbonic acid.
