Preparation of Hydrazine Sulfate by the Hypochlorite Ketazine Method

I made it for real this time! Thanks to NurdRage for the procedure and understanding of whats going on, without which I could not have made hydrazine sulfate. If your wondering why I'm making hydrazine sulfate I'll give you a hint, I just cut up a ton of vinyl gloves...

So thanks to the description. You are planning to make luminol with it. Yes?

[hkparker]

@sciencenurd2 I was planning on it, but I ran out of time before I had to go to college. Perhaps over the summer or in a few years.

what is that thing you use as vacuum pump?

[hkparker]

@andreh4eva Its a hand pump that came with my vacuum filter kit.

Where did you get your lab apparatus?

[hkparker]

@ConorC96 see my video on that

@ConorC96

That is obvious - more reactants = more average product.

[ConorC96]

I think to get a higher yield, you should increase the amount of Bleach, Ammonia, and MEK. Also, the amount of Sulfuric Acid and water.

@macbeth41science I wasn't disappointed with my yield. I probably could have gotten more if I refiltered my filtrate after heating again, as a bit more HS did precipitate days later, but eh, like I said the chemicals were cheap. I only need mg of HS anyway. Thanks about the project, but I've ran into a large complication and will not be able to complete in the foreseeable future :(. A video soon will explain it.

Only 2 grams? what happened? Good luck with the project!
