With increases in pressure, the conversion of Ammonium carbamate into urea___________________?
Correct answer: A. Increases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remains unaltered
- D. Can either increase or decrease depends on biuret content
Explanation
Urea is formed by the dehydration of ammonium carbamate under high-pressure conditions, and increasing pressure favours the high-pressure urea synthesis system. Industrial urea plants therefore operate at elevated pressure to improve conversion and recovery.
