hydrazoic acid
« on: November 04, 2005, 03:14:29 AM »
I came across in one of the text books that hydrazine hydrate (NH2NH2.H2O) is known to oxidize by two electron transfer to hydrazoic acid/hydrogen azide (N3H), colorless explosive liquid at room temperature and pressure.
Does this happen readily in air without any other requirements??
Can someone help me to know the possible conditions (temperature, pH or other) for the above reaction to happen.
I have been searching for info from net but nowhere could I find it.

Explosive discussions are restricted.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
