The gas used in manufacturing of urea fertilizer__________________?
Correct answer: D. CH4
- A. C2H6
- B. C2H4
- C. C2H2
- D. CH4
Explanation
Methane is the principal feedstock for making hydrogen and synthesis gas, which are used to produce ammonia; ammonia then reacts with carbon dioxide to make urea. A student may choose ethene because it is an important industrial alkene, but ethene is not the usual starting gas for urea manufacture.

About Alkanes
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds, with the general formula CnH2n+2 for open chains. Their structure, isomerism, IUPAC nomenclature, physical properties, combustion, free-radical halogenation and conformations are covered, including the difference between substitution in alkanes and addition in unsaturated hydrocarbons.
