Question

Which sequence represents the correct ranking of the amount of nitrogen per molecule, from least to most nitrogen? Urea, uric acid, ammonia Uric acid, ammonia, urea Ammonia, urea, uric acid Ammonia, uric acid, urea

Answer 1

Ammonia, urea, uric acid

Step-by-step explanation:

The given compounds are:-

Urea which has a molecular formula of
`CH_4N_2O` and has 2 atoms of nitrogen per molecule.

Ammonia which has a molecular formula of
`NH_3` and has 1 atom of nitrogen per molecule.

Uric acid which has a molecular formula of
`C_5H_4N_4O_3` and has 4 atoms of nitrogen per molecule.

Thus,

The order from least to most nitrogen is:-

Ammonia, urea, uric acid
