N₂H₆ + HCl -> 2NH₄Cl
N₂H₆ + O₂ -> N₂ + 3H₂O
N₂H₆ + Cl₂ -> N₂ + 6HCl
N₂H₆ + H₂SO₄ -> (NH₄)₂SO₄

4. Synthesis of N₂H₆:

4.1 Laboratory synthesis of N₂H₆: From ammonia and excess chlorine: 2NH₃ + Cl₂ -> N₂H₄ + 2HCl

4.2 Industrial synthesis of N₂H₆: From ammonia and oxygen or ozone, in an alkaline environment with iron as a catalyst. Notably, the synthesis of N₂H₆ must be carried out in an air-free condition because N₂H₆ is very flammable and explosive when in contact with air.
