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

Urea contains what percentage of nitrogen approximately?
A. 35%
B. 46%
C. 15%
D. 21%
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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 is NOT a characteristic of an ideal gas?
A. Particles have strong attractive forces
B. Particles have no volume
C. Obeys PV = nRT at all conditions
D. No intermolecular forces

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ideal gas assumptions: particles have negligible volume, no intermolecular forces, and elastic collisions. Real gases deviate due to finite molecular size and attractions. At high pressure and low temperature, real gases deviate significantly; van der Waals equation corrects. So having strong attractive forces is not an ideal gas property. Ideal gas law PV = nRT is a limiting law.

Question #2
Separation of a mixture of naphthalene and sand can be achieved by:
A. Filtration
B. Magnetic separation
C. Sublimation
D. Distillation

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Naphthalene sublimes on heating, directly changing to vapor, while sand remains. The naphthalene vapor can be condensed on a cold surface. This technique works for any mixture where one component sublimes (naphthalene, camphor, NH₄Cl). Filtration works for insoluble solids in liquids. Magnetic separation for magnetic ores. Distillation for liquid mixtures.

Question #3
The biological oxygen demand (BOD) of clean water is typically:
A. Between 50 and 100 ppm
B. Less than 5 ppm
C. Greater than 500 ppm
D. Between 10 and 20 ppm

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) measures the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic organisms to break down organic material in water. Clean, unpolluted water has a low BOD, typically less than 5 ppm. Highly polluted water can have a BOD of 17 ppm or much higher, indicating severe organic contamination.
