Product Overview
Hydrazine hydrate, 99-100% LR, is a high-purity laboratory reagent known for its exceptional reducing capabilities. This colorless, fuming liquid is a hydrazine derivative with a pungent ammonia-like odor, making it easily identifiable in lab settings. The reagent’s high concentration ensures maximum efficiency in chemical reactions where precise reduction is critical. Its LR grade designation guarantees low impurity levels, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent and reliable results. The compound’s molecular structure (N2H4·H2O) provides unique reactivity, particularly in organic synthesis and as a precursor for various chemical compounds. Hydrazine hydrate’s hygroscopic nature requires careful handling and storage to maintain its purity and effectiveness. The reagent demonstrates excellent solubility in water and polar organic solvents, enhancing its versatility in different reaction mediums. Its strong basic properties (pKb ≈ 5.7) contribute to its effectiveness in various chemical processes. The product’s stability under proper storage conditions ensures long shelf life while maintaining its high purity standards.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of 99-100% LR hydrazine hydrate?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed, hydrazine hydrate maintains its specified purity for 12-18 months from the date of manufacture.
2. How should I handle potential exposure to hydrazine hydrate?
Immediate measures include removing contaminated clothing, rinsing skin with plenty of water for 15 minutes, and seeking medical attention if irritation persists or if inhalation occurs.
3. What materials are compatible for storing hydrazine hydrate?
Glass or high-density polyethylene containers are recommended for storage, as these materials resist corrosion from the reagent’s basic nature.
4. Can this product be used as a substitute for anhydrous hydrazine?
While similar in reactivity, the hydrate form contains water which may affect certain reactions requiring anhydrous conditions, making direct substitution unsuitable for some applications.
5. What’s the recommended disposal method for unused hydrazine hydrate?
Neutralization with dilute acid followed by controlled oxidation is the standard procedure, though specific disposal methods should comply with local environmental regulations.
