There are many kinds of hydrazine compounds, including hydrazine, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, and 1,2-dimethylhydrazine. Small amounts of hydrazine occur naturally in plants. Most hydrazines are manufactured for use as rocket propellants and fuels, boiler water treatments, chemical reactants, medicines, and in cancer research. Discover hydrazine’s properties, preparation, and real-world uses. Master chemistry concepts with Vedantu’s expert guidance-start learning now! Hydrazine is highly toxic and is considered to be dangerously unstable in anhydrous form. Hydrazine is a flammable liquid. Mixtures of hydrazine vapor in the air are flammable between 4.7% and 100% hydrazine by volume. Water solutions of hydrazines cannot be ignited when the hydrazine concentration is below 40%. Continuing Education Activity Hydrazines are a generic group of structurally related chemicals with numerous commercial uses. Different kinds of hydrazine compounds include hydrazines, hydrazones, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, and 1,2-dimethylhydrazine. Most hydrazines are manufactured as an intermediate during agricultural chemicals and plastics production, a component of rocket propellant and fuels, water treatments, and a metabolite of the gyromitra mushroom and anti-tuberculosis drug isoniazid ...
