Question

Here is the reaction of carbamic acid and ammonia to form an amide and water. There is a scheme of a reversible reaction where carbamic acid reacts with ammonia to give water and an unknown compound. Carbamic acid is H2NCOH with an oxygen atom attached to the carbon atom by a double bond. Ammonia is a nitrogen atom with three H atoms attached. Water is HOH. Draw the amide product of this reaction.

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attempted to show the sequence of the reaction between carbamic acid and ammonia to form an amide and water and urea.

The reaction first involves the protonation of ammonia to give ammonium carbamate.

When ammonium carbamate is heated to 130-140 degrees, we obtain urea and water as the final products of the reaction
