Urea contains 46% nitrogen.

IMPORTANT POINTS

• Urea, also known as carbamide.
• It is an organic compound with the chemical formula CO(NH₂)₂
• This amide has two –NH2 groups joined by a carbonyl (C=O) functional group.
• It is a colorless, odorless solid, highly soluble in water
• Dissolved in water, it is neither acidic nor alkaline.
• The liver forms it by combining two ammonia molecules (NH₃) with a carbon dioxide (CO₂) molecule in the urea cycle.
• Urea is widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen (N) and is an important raw material for the chemical industry.

USES OF UREA

• Urea is highly soluble in water and is therefore also very suitable for use in fertilizer solutions and as animal feed.

Important Facts

• Pb(NO₃)₂ is the molecular formula for lead nitrate.

• 2Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2PbO + 4NO₂ + O₂

• On heating, lead nitrate decomposes into lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen, as shown in the reaction. Decomposition of lead nitrate produces lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen.

• When one mole of 2 Pb(NO₃)₂ is heated gives 2 moles of NO₂

• Here to balancing the equation, it shows - 4 moles of NO₂

Confusing points

• Photosynthesis is critical for the existence of the vast majority of life on Earth. It is the way in which virtually all energy in the biosphere becomes available to living things.

• As primary producers, photosynthetic organisms form the base of Earth’s food webs and are consumed directly or indirectly by all higher life forms.

• Additionally, almost all the oxygen in the atmosphere is due to the process of photosynthesis. If photosynthesis ceased, there would soon be little food or other organic matter on Earth, most organisms would disappear, and Earth’s atmosphere would eventually become nearly devoid of gaseous oxygen.

Important points

photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

Average Export diamonds for 7 years = Total export / Total no of years

⇒ (7.2 + 8.5 + 9.8 + 10.9 + 11.8 + 11.5 + 12.4)/7 = 72.1/7

⇒ 10.3 crores

In the given 4 years, the export is more than the average export:

2011 = 10.9 crores

2012 = 11.8 crores

2013 = 11.5 crores

2014 = 12.4 crores

∴ The no of years where export is more than the average export = 4

Related points

• Microplastics are small plastic pieces less than 5 millimeters long which can be harmful to our ocean and aquatic life.

• Plastic debris can come in all shapes and sizes, but those that are less than five millimeters in length (or about the size of a sesame seed) are called “microplastics.”

Problems

• The problem with microplastics is that plastic items of any size do not readily break down into harmless molecules.

• Plastics can take hundreds or thousands of years to decompose—and in the meantime, wreak havoc on the environment.

• On beaches, microplastics are visible as tiny multicolored plastic bits in sand. In the oceans, microplastic pollution is often consumed by marine animals.

Polyvinyl Chloride

• Polyvinyl Chloride ( PVC) was one of the first plastics ever discovered.

• Now, it's one of the top three most-used synthetic plastic polymers out there.

• PVC is found in things we use every day, including pipes, window frames, toys, bottles, shoes, credit cards etc.

Most Common Sources of Water Pollution

• Wastewater and Sewage.

• Industrial Waste.

• Fossil Fuels.

• Sewer Line Leaks.
