Density	1.011 at 59 °F
Solubility	It dissolves in water at 25ºC Miscible with methyl, ethyl, propyl, isobutyl alcohol Very soluble in ethanol and methanol

Production:

This material is made in a two-step process.

• First step: reaction of sodium hypochlorite and ammonia to produce chloramine (NH₂Cl) and sodium hydroxide.
• Second step: reaction of chloramine, ammonia and sodium hydroxide to produce Hydrazine, sodium, chloride and water.

To avoid unwanted side reactions that reduce the yield of Hydrazine, these reactions should be performed in the presence of colloidal materials such as gelatin, glue or starch.

In an old method, they used the reaction of sodium hypochlorite with urea to produce Hydrazine.

Hydrazine uses:

This substance is a reducing agent and very reactive and has many uses in different industries and medicine. In psychiatry, derivatives of this substance are used as antidepressants. It is present in various industries as a catalytic precursor.

This compound is present in agricultural and photographic chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, textile dyes, and fuel for rockets and spacecraft. It is also used in nuclear power plants as an oxygen absorber to control dissolved oxygen concentration to reduce corrosion.

MSDS:
