How was urea originally produced in the lab according to the text?

According to the text, urea was originally produced in the lab through the combination of ammonium cyanate and heat. This process was discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1828, and it marked the first time that an organic compound had been artificially synthesized.

Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

Exothermic

All compounds containing carbon are organic.

False

Apparently, the first organic compound synthesized in the lab was sucrose.

False

Organic compounds cannot be synthesized.

False

The properties of the hydrogen atom form the basis for all life.

False

The two classifications of all chemicals are organic and salts.

False

The source of materials which eventually formed our vast coal and oil deposits came from ____ buried in ____ rocks all over the earth.

C12 H22 O11 + 11H2 SO4 --> 12C + 11H2 SO4 + 11H2 O How do you know the concentrated sulfuric acid is a catalyst?

The sulfuric acid is not consumed nor does it react with the reactant.

Which of the following graphs represents the reaction below? (Remember that energy is rising on the vertical (y) axis, and the reaction progress is on the horizontal (x) axis.) C12H22O11 + 11 H2SO4 → 12 C+11 H2SO4 +11H2O
