ANALYSIS OF URINE

1.Urea – to 10 drops of urine, add 5 drops of conc. NaOH and 2 drops of
bromine water. Note evolution of gas.
2. Uric acid - place 5 ml urine in a beaker and add 1 ml conc. HCl. Stir well and
set aside until the next lab period. Describe the appearance of crystals
deposited on the sides of the beaker.
Dissolve a few crystals of uric acid in 2 ml 5% Na 2 CO 3 solution. Add 2ml
Benedicts reagent and heat in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Observe
formation of precipitate.
3. Creatinine – to 10 drops urine and 5 drops of sat. Picric acid. Drop red litmus
paper to the mixture and make alkaline with 10% NaOH until color of litmus
paper changes to blue. Observe color.
