HYDRAZINE IS CARCINOGENIC. DO NOT REATTEMPT UNLESS YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL

I go over how to make hydrazine sulfate using bleach and other easily accessible materials. I follow the procedure in Leonid Lerners book "A smallscale synthesis to laboratory reagents" at a 72% scale.

Needed reagents:
550 mls or 582g of 8% bleach
55g NaOH (draincleaner)
40g Urea (found in icepacks / fertilizer)
~0.8g gelatin
140mls 32% HCl (muriatic acid)
91-96% Sulpheric Acid (draincleaner)

Check out my other video on the synthesis of Nickel Hydrazine Nitrate to put this to use.
