This is 110% true for 2-4-5 Trioxin as well (not to be confused with 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid). It's much better to have a canister simply rupture all at once, than to have a canister vent little bursts of the compound over time. 2-4-5 Trioxin is EXTREMELY hazardous to nervous tissue, especially the central nervous system, and specifically the brain itself. It is directly neurotoxic in chemical form when a person is exposed, though it is more well-known due to its secondary mechanism of injury which is physical neurological tissue destruction and denaturing essentially via acidic digestion of the proteins. A terrifying chemical, truly. The stuff of horror movies and nightmares.

King [England] Charles-I is said to have proclaimed as policy: _In 1626, King Charles I ordered “his loving subjects [to] carefully and constantly keep and preserve in some convenient vessels or receptacles, all the urine of man during the whole year, and all the stale of beasts which they can save and gather together whilst their beasts are in their stables and stalls, and that they be careful to use the best means of gathering together and preserving the urine and stale, without mixture of water or other thing put therein. Which our commandment and royal pleasure, being easy to observe, and so necessary for the public service of us and our people, that if any person do be remiss thereof we shall esteem all such persons contemptuous and ill affected both to our person and estate, and are resolved to proceed to the punishment of that offender with what severity we may."_ Feb.1646 saltpeter act by Parliament www.british-history.ac.uk/no-series/acts-ordinances-interregnum/pp828-830

You can increase yield by adding EtOH after the sulfuric acid

Gelatin is the same reason you use pvt or dextrin to reduce crystal size. It acts as inhibiter of crystal growth and weakens the reaction making it happen slower and thus less destruction from that reaction

Nile I am interested in amine and its ability to trap CO2 when cool and release it when its heated. Also I would like to know more about its hazards and toxicity. Think you could possibly do a video on this?

Nice choice!! I would like to know why didn't you use a distillation process instead of adding sulfuric acid? if we can do so can we use any drying agent to dry our product?

9:43 There's also some water being generated here (presumably from the hydrogen lost when the urea converts into the isocyanate and the oxygen lost when the hypochlorite is reduced to the chloride).

You wasn't kidding. Bubbles were exactly at the rim. 1mm more and it would spill over. Glad I used a 1000 ml high form beaker rather then the low form. Gives you that bubbling room. In fact I use mostly high form beakers as they tend to mess up the counter more and capture the micro droplets alot better

What would concern me about anhydrous hydrazine is the instability. It's toxic enough, but compared to HCN it's almost innocuous. The MLD/oral for N2H4 is about 55mg/kg, where as HCN has an oral MLD of about 1 or 2 mg/kg. Btw, nice video. Hope you keep up the good work!

KCN orally I thought was about 5mg / Kg MLD50 but HCN oral (as opposed to inhalation) ? That surprises me, I thought HCN would only be by inhalation and I *thought* perhaps wrongly, that mg for mg, inhaled HCN was slightly more toxic than ingested KCN. It's H2S that always makes me wary - as it is relatively cheap / easy for anyone to make and after the initial smell, folks tend to thing it has dissipated as the nose is de-sensitized by it. Insidious, cheap and lethal.

So I have prepared the salt with this method, but after some time I wanted to use it in a synthesis. But when I opened the bottle, there was a faint ammonia-like smell coming from the crystaline powder. Is there actually a chance that some base had made it into the product and actually created freebase hydrazine? The powder was well dried so there should not be any moisture present but maybe it picked some over time?

@NipeRed thank you for the share

Will any kind of defoamer work without killing the reaction? Seems like gelatine gives the best yield, reducing the copious foaming would greatly simplify the procedure. I am aware that other chelating agents work, such as EDTA, but they seem to give lower yields.

Hydrazine sounds like a name you'd find as a trademark sports drink.

Urea solution that is left out for a long while and is quite basic already will build up isocyanate, might this explain some of the variability people have in this reaction?

Reaction equation please. Love your vids man.

If hydrazine sulphate is soluble in water, how did it precipitate out at the end after adding sulphuric acid? There was water in the reaction mixture so it should have not precipitated out

how did you determine your yield without knowing how pure your product is? you didnt do any melting point tests or recristallization, right?

Hydrazine might be toxic but it's a VERY useful chemical compound! I did not know you can produce it that way... I usually ordered it at SigmaAldrich... ;-) For purification you could have recrystallized the raw product with WATER! It exhibits a very low solubility in COLD water! ;-)

I have an interesting experiment for you. To produce sulphur trioxide with simple ingredients, 3 Na2S2O8 + 5 S ----> 8 SO3 + 3 Na2S by heating, it is strongly exhothermic, but by adding e.g. bentonite, this reaction can possibly be slowed down, and the sulphur trioxide can be distilled off in a refrigeration unit.
