Urea contains what percentage of nitrogen approximately? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Urea contains what percentage of nitrogen approximately?
A. 46%
B. 35%
C. 21%
D. 15%
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Urea (NH₂CONH₂) has molar mass 60, with 28 g N, percentage = (28/60)×100 ≈ 46.6%. Rounded to 46%. It is the most concentrated solid nitrogen fertilizer. Ammonium nitrate is 33%, ammonium sulfate 21%.

Question #1
Which of the following compounds has a coordinate bond?
A. NH₃
B. O₃
C. CH₄
D. H₂O

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ozone (O₃) has one coordinate bond; a central oxygen donates a lone pair to another oxygen. CH₄, NH₃, H₂O have ordinary covalent bonds, though NH₃ can donate a pair to form NH₄⁺.

Question #2
Soap works by forming structures called micelles. The hydrophobic tails dissolve in:
A. The soap dish
B. Air
C. The oily dirt
D. Water

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The long hydrocarbon chain (tail) of soap is non-polar and hydrophobic, so it dissolves into the oily/greasy dirt particle. The ionic head (hydrophilic) remains in the water. This forms a micelle around the dirt, emulsifying it and allowing it to be washed away. The tail-dirt interaction is via van der Waals forces.

Question #3
The metal that is extracted by the electrolytic reduction of its fused salt is:
A. Sodium
B. Iron
C. Zinc
D. Copper

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Highly reactive metals (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al) are extracted by electrolysis of their fused (molten) salts because chemical reducing agents cannot reduce their ores. For sodium, Down's process: electrolysis of molten NaCl with CaCl₂ to lower melting point. Iron is extracted by smelting (blast furnace). Copper and zinc can be extracted by reduction with coke or electrolytic refining of impure metal.
