Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The balanced equation has to be given for the reaction of hydrazine with
Concept Introduction: Hydrazine is a colorless liquid and is produced by oxidation of ammonia. Hydrazine is a base and is a strong reducing agent.
It is used in treating waste water from chemical plants. It is also used to remove dissolved oxygen in water in electric generating plants. Hydrazine acts as a reducing agent and reduces the amount of dissolved oxygen. Otherwise, this dissolved oxygen can corrode the metals of pipes used in the plants.
Balanced chemical equation of a reaction is written according to law of conservation of mass.
(b)
Interpretation: It should be calculated that the mass of
