Chemical Properties
colourless fuming liquid
General Description
A colorless fuming
liquid with a faint ammonia-like odor. Corresponds to a 64% aqueous
solution of hydrazine in water. Combustible but may require some effort
to ignite. Contact with oxidizing materials may cause spontaneous
ignition. Toxic by inhalation and by skin absorption. Corrosive to
tissue. Produces toxics oxides of nitrogen during combustion.
Air & Water Reactions
Fumes in air. Water soluble.
Reactivity Profile
Hydrazine hydrate
is a base and a very powerful reducing agent. Very corrosive. Violent
reaction on contact with alkali metals (sodium, potassium),
2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene, tin dichloride, mercury oxide. Vigorous
neutralization reaction with acids. Emits toxic fumes of nitrogen
oxides when heated to decomposition [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 680].
Reacts with tin(II) chloride to give tin(II) dihydrazine chloride,
which decomposes explosively when heated [Mellor 7:430(1946-1947)].
Reacts exothermically and violently with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene [Wisc.
Hydrazine hydrate is widely used as a reducing agent or
an intermediate of synthesis in various industrial sectors like water
treatment (effluents, industrial boilers), chemical treatment process
(metals, mine extraction) or active ingredients synthesis
(pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals).
Hydrazine hydrate is marketed as a water-based solution at different hydrazine concentration.
