Hydrazine Hydrate

Hydrazine hydrate is used for the deproteination of the enamel samples in a study. It may be used as a reducing agent in preparation of silver nano-particles, transformation of mono-substituted nitrobenzene derivatives to the corresponding anilines and along with graphite for the conversion of nitro compounds to the amino compounds. Hydrazine derivatives are used in the manufacture of herbicides and fungicides, as well as plant growth regulators. From tranquilizers to the primary drug for controlling tuberculosis, hydrazine derivatives have proven to be effective ingredients for a number of pharmaceuticals. Hydrazine solution strength is usually given as the percent contained hydrazine. However, when hydrazine and water are mixed, a monohydrate (N2H4.H20) is formed through hydrogen bonding. Therefore, the amount of hydrazine in a solution can also be designated as the percentage of hydrazine monohydrate. Hydrazine hydrate is a colorless, fuming and basic solution with a peculiar bad smell, soluble in water and alcohol, insoluble in chloroform and ethyl ether.
