What is N2H2O4? Important Knowledge about N2H2O4.

N₂H₂O₄, also known as Dihydrate Di-hydride Nitrogen. The English name of this substance is Dinitrogen Tetraoxide. This compound consists of 2 Nitrogen atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms, and 4 Oxygen atoms. The total atomic mass is 92.02 g/mol. The N₂H₂O₄ molecule does not form ions under normal conditions.

Properties of N₂H₂O₄: This substance is a dark brown gas at room temperature. It is very toxic and can cause burns if directly contacted. It has an unpleasant smell. The pH of N₂H₂O₄ cannot be determined as it is not soluble in water. Under normal conditions, N₂H₂O₄ reacts strongly with reducing agents and most oxidizing substances.

Common chemical equations of N₂H₂O₄ are hard to find because this substance is rarely used in practice. However, N₂H₂O₄ is commonly used in the industry for producing explosives and as a bleaching agent.

Synthesis of N₂H₂O₄: In the laboratory, N₂H₂O₄ is usually prepared from the reaction between dinitrogen tetroxide and water. In industry, N₂H₂O₄ is synthesized from the decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide or from the reaction between dinitrogen tetroxide and water.
Note: Students need to be cautious when performing experiments with N₂H₂O₄ due to its toxic and burn-causing properties.
