Analysis Of Synthesis A Genius
Normally, I would include quotes from the article but because we are using a plagiarism tool online, I thought it would consider direct quotes as plagiarism even if I cite the source in my write up. The article I chose is called, “Synthesis of a Genius” by George Kauffman and Steven Chooljian.
The area of exploration and discovery that I chose was the synthesis of urea in chemistry. Urea was discovered by Friedrich Wohler, in 1828. This discovery ultimately changed the belief at the time that only organic compounds can be created from living organisms. He was able to create urea (which is mostly what is found in human and animal urine) in the lab with inorganic compounds.
The interesting thing about this was Wohler’s motivation it was
