Urea, CO(NH2)2, is the excreted form of excess nitrogen in most vertebrates. In urinary infections, urease, released by microbial pathogens, degrades urea into CO2 and ammonia in the bladder. a) write a balanced equation of the reaction, b) write equations for the equilibria associated with CO2 and ammonia in water

CO(NH2)2 + H2O ==> CO2 + 2NH3
NH3 + HOH ==> NH4^ OH^-
CO2 + H2O ==> H2CO3 =>H^+ + HCO3^-
HCO3^- ==> H^+ + CO3^2-
NH3 + HOH ==> NH4^ OH^-
CO2 + H2O ==> H2CO3 =>H^+ + HCO3^-
HCO3^- ==> H^+ + CO3^2-
