Hydrazine sulfate, 99.0+%

Hydrazine sulfate is the salt of hydrazine and sulfuric acid. It is a white, water-soluble salt of the cation hydrazinium and the anion bisulfate, giving the formula (N2H5)HSO4. It is prepared by treating an aqueous solution of hydrazine with sulfuric acid. It has a number of laboratory uses in analytical chemistry and the synthesis of organic compounds. Hydrazine sulfate is used as a precursor to hydrazine.

This salt is sometimes preferred over pure hydrazine because it is nonvolatile and less susceptible to atmospheric oxidation on storage. These properties have made it attractive for a variety of uses in the chemical industry and at some point as an alternative medical treatment.

Hydrazine sulfate also has a variety of uses in industrial chemistry, including as a chemical intermediate, as a catalyst in making fibers out of acetate, as a fungicide, antiseptic, in the analysis and synthesis of minerals and testing for arsenic in metals.
