Urea is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH4N2O. It has the highest nitrogen content of any solid fertilizer at 46%. Urea can be produced by evaporating a solution of ammonium cyanate or by combining ammonia and carbon dioxide under pressure to form ammonium carbonate and then removing water. Urea's purity can be tested by dissolving it in water and adding silver nitrate solution, where the formation of a white precipitate indicates pure urea.

Solid ammonium carbamate urea water *Ammonium carbonate under suitable conditions losses water to forms urea. TEST FOR PURITY To detect purity in the urea, take 1gm urea in test tube and add 5ml distilled water to dissolve the material. Add 5-6 drops of silver nitrate solution. The formation of white precipitate indicate that material is pure. The non formaiton of any precipitation indicates that the urea is pure. The official process is based on the method of richmond and hill this hydrolysis the saccharin to the sodium sant of o- sulphonyl benzoic acid ,without loss of ammonia. It is widely used as a calorie free substitute sugar or diabetics and in the weight conscious.
