I remember working with hydrazine as a reducer quite a lot when I used to work in a nanoparticles lab, it was quite fun, and I wasn't really scared, since it wasn't anhydrous
A lot of these chemicals aren't all that scary, if you are working in a properly equipped lab. I am a lot more queasy about watching somebody make something like hydrazine in their proverbial basement, though
ngl, there are many cans(where I work) which are filled to the brim with concentrated hydrazine solution with some unknown thickening agent. So one of my colleagues put his bare hand in it and stirred it surprisingly nothing happened to him.
Yeahhhh. About that. It's APPARENTLY benign, but absorbed through the skin and can be inhaled, and then it goes off to the liver, and in about 5-10 years or so causes liver cancer. Rocket scientists use to carry it around in open beakers, then the animal testing results came back and suddenly everyone was wearing moonsuits. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Ah, yes, acid to water... I forget it everytime, but luckily the steam quickly reminds me. (I am scared of H2SO4, since a former lab assistent managed to spill boiling H2SO4 over his hand. Luckily the ER was just 10 min away by foot and he recovered fast.)
here's a quick rhyme to help remember about mixing acid and water do what you oughtter, add acid to water not water to acid, OMGGG OMGGGG IT BURRRNNNNSS IT BURRRRRNSSS WHY GOD WHY-cid
I'm sure I made the stuff after chucking a load of bleach int he bin outside when a bag of cat litter had split open, spilled out, leached out the ammonia from the cat pee and when the two mixed out came a cloud of white gas that looked like I just freed a deadly ghost from some form of prison as it wafted off up the street... :P
@@isaacthedestroyerofstuped7676 It is a simple looking chemical yes. It is made of nasty things though lol. But nitrogen is hardly innocent in the chemical world either. I mean it is the basis of most explosives.
The reaction works best if stronger bleach is used, the best way to get that is to use pool shock and cause sodium and calcium to swap places by adding sodium carbonate solution to it. Cool both the bleach and ammmonia solution. Skip the MEK and use a little geletain instead. After that i just distill it and titrate the distillate with H2SO4. The hydrazine distills off with the water so not much wories ❤
Hey as I m motivated towards all these chemical reactions and the main thing I watch on RUclips are amateur chemistry and Nile red .... Could u pls tell me what is ur academic status and when u started this channel from where did u get all those chemicals ...???? It would be a huge help for me as this would increase my confidence and would help me in my future life Thank you so much 🙏🏻
the only thing better than bleach and ammonia is bleach, ammonia, and sulfuric acid lol. thanks for explaining how to keep this 'safe' for experimental use.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room... NCl3. Tom (Explosions and Fire) made this on his channel to explore the energetic properties. Not saying you should repeat that, but if there are any cool uses for it (besides blowing yourself up), I would be curious to understand more about it seeing how it's easy to create. Can you produce it in low/no UV light conditions? Are there wavelengths of light that won't excite it? Would an inert atmosphere help?
@hantrio4327 you are correct. It was a miss type. Worked in a plant in Georgia for about 3 months 15 years ago. Don't even know if the plant is still open. Just vividly remember the friction ignition demonstration from chlorite dried on cotton . . .
It doesn't. Making sarin (which is not a gas) from household chemicals would be very challenging and involve several complicated (and not very efficient) steps. The only step in which sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach) would be of any use in the manufacture of sarin agent is the production of chlorine gas to make the phosphorus chlorides which can be used as organophosphate precursors (e.g. in the methanolysis of phosphorus trichloride) and as chlorinating agents (chlorination of DMMP to methylohosphonyl dichloride with phosphorus pentachloride).
Maybe storing the hydrazine bottle inside a larger bottle with a relatively thin layer of H2O2 would neutralize any leaks??? Or instead of H2O2 you could add some pH strips tossed in or taped on the side of the larger bottle to verify no leaking?
If you do that you would need some way to release the pressure from the nitrogen gas buildup. It would be better to just store it well sealed and in a well ventilated place (ventilated chemical storage cabinet). The pH strips are a way to verify how much it leaks, yes.
@WaffleStaffel I don't know if using calcium hypochlorite would have any effect on the overall yield, but it could be better than sodium hypochlorite in terms of determining its concentration.
I can understand that but hydrazine is The only of course not only hydrazine but it’s hyperbolic and in combination of many oxidizers like the nitrogen tetroxide or nitric acid or other oxidizers the The risks must be accepted
Nope, you get chloramines. Mostly monochloramine and dichloramine, although a little nitrogen trichloride (trichloramine) is produced too. The mix of monochloramine and dichloramine you get is as toxic and irritating as chlorine, but without the pleasant green color. To get chlorine gas, instead you would mix your bleach with HCl or another strong acid. Some toilet bowl cleaners are dilute HCl, and mixing bleach with it is how chlorine can be produced by accident at home.
@100-pc-notbot I don't have any filter installed so they just all vent into the atmosphere, I know this system isn't perfect but it keeps me safe and since a few people live nearby doesn't harm anyone.
No, neither. No mustard agent nor tear gas is produced by reaction of sodium hypochlorite solution and ammonia solution. The main products are chloramines. The mustard gas misconception comes from a famous "King of the Hill" clip, but it's not really true, it's just a meme.
ah yeah, remember doing this while cleaning the toilet and was wondering why my nose hurt
That's likely the chloramine gas irritating your nose
You wouldn't smell anhydrous hydrazine, you'd dream of smelling it once you died from it already
Sometimes you unintentionally reennact events that happen during world wars,it happens

NCl3 used to be used for bleaching flour, until some wazoo in FDA whined about it.
Nitrogen trichloride seems to be way too unstable for any practical experiments, however, I might give its properties a look in the future :)
I worked at a sodium chlorite (edited from clorate)(what they add water to make bleach) facility for a bit. Shit was crazy combustible!
