Amide and Urea Chemistry

This page delves into the chemistry of amides and urea, covering their synthesis, hydrolysis, and characteristic reactions. It begins with methods for otrzymywanie amidów through reactions of carboxylic acids with ammonia or amines. The page then explores the hydroliza amidów under both acidic and basic conditions. The synthesis and reactions of urea are also discussed in detail, including its production from carbon dioxide and ammonia, and its various hydrolysis pathways. The page concludes with the thermal decomposition of urea and its condensation reaction to form biuret.

Vocabulary: Hydroliza refers to a chemical reaction where a compound is broken down by reaction with water. In the context of amides and urea, hydrolysis can occur under acidic (hydroliza kwasowa) or basic (hydroliza zasadowa) conditions, leading to different products.

Definition: Mocznik, also known as urea, is a common organic compound with the chemical formula CO(NH₂)₂. It plays a significant role in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds in animals and is widely used in fertilizers.
