When urea is heated at 1550C, two molecules of urea react to the release of NH3 and gives biuret, a white crystalline solid. The above reaction is a test of urea because on adding an alkaline solution of copper sulphate to white solid biuret, a violet colour is obtained. i i I H, N-C-NH, +H, NH, BEC, tal NH, - C-NH-C-NH,, +NH, Biuret ” phenol decolourise bromine water Phenol is not an unsaturated compound also decolourizes bromine water, This is du . le to the substituti reaction forming bromine substituted phenol, ion a Phenet 2.4 Betribromophena! cation Br2/H20.
