Hint...it has to do with the low basicity of urea and with the low acidity and volatility of H2CO3...
HNO3 and oxalic acid are sufficiently acidic to form a urea salt, both can be used for precipitation of urea...

But then, is the smell of ammonia pleasant? Surely not. Except, in the former case, ammonia is produced bacterially...
Anyway - the debate is not so much about the issue whether it's sterile or not (and I agree about your mid-stream sample), but simply whether this
particular case is 'science that goes too far'. InfantigoTragus
Rx drugs
And I just happened to disagree on that  - if anything, I'd say, the making of
highly toxic nerve gases is science that goes to far, at least for the amateur chemist! |
That makes a good sense!

And large volumes would surely be needed. |
During the Civil War the South had the ladies donate their pee to be used as nitrate for gun powder. It had to be boiled down to use it and when it
was made into Gunpowder it really pissed of the neighbours to the North.
