Abstract
In liquid ammonia containing amide, the yield of hydrazine is higher and the yield of hydrogen and nitrogen smaller than in neutral solution. The stationary concentration of N 2H 4 is much higher than in neutral or acid solution, attaining 0·10 mol dm −3 KNH 2. The discussion shows that the yield variations with pH have their origin in the replacement of H atoms by ρ am -, the former being able, as opposed to the second, to react with N 2H 4 to form H 2. The initial yields G N 4 H 4 = 0·30 and G NH = 0·34 are the same as in neutral solution.
