Urea on reacting with water gives:

  • A. \( N H_{3} \)
  • B. \( N_{2} O_{3} \)
  • C. \( H N O_{2} \)
  • D. \( H N O_{3} \)

Step-by-step solution

Urea ((NH2)2CO) undergoes hydrolysis with water to produce ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The reaction is: (NH2)2CO + H2O → CO2 + 2NH3. Thus, the product is NH3.
