Hydrazine

Hydrazine is a strong reducing agent.

Chemical Formula: H₄N₂

Other names: Hydrazine

Layman's explanation: Hydrazine is a clear hygroscopic liquid that is toxic and flammable. This chemical was once used as a missile fuel but eventually was replaced by UDMH. Current applications of hydrazine include its use in preventing corrosion by removing oxygen from boiler water; as a building block for agricultural chemicals; and as a monopropellant for satellite station motors. It is also used as a chemical intermediate to produce spandex fibers and antioxidants. Additionally, it is used for plating metals on glass and plastics and in fuel cells, solders fluxes, and photographic developers.

Keywords: spandex fibers, fuel cells, reducing agent, monopropellant
