Urea decomposes in hot water in acidic media according to the following mechanism: k1 (NH2)2CO = NCO¯ + NH¢ k-1 k2 NCO¯ + 2H30+→C02 + H20 + NH We will consider that all species remain in solution in the conditions of the reaction. By applying the quasi-steady state approximation on the cyanate NCO- intermediate, express the rate of formation of CO2 as a function of the concentration in urea, in hydronium H30* and in ammonium NH4*.
