What's the.......compound?
Hallo to all,
I've reacted acqueous 30% NH3 (5ml) with 5% NaClO (10ml)
and I have noted the formation of bubbles: what gas has
formed? During this process I've dropped some CuCl in
this solution (for control if the liquid is the VERY
searched hydrazine, because I've read that most of the
Cu compound with hydrazine are blue) and the formation of
gas has increased and all the liquid becamed
slightly blue. What compound has formed?
Thanx for the help.

I think copper is one of the metal ions that even in trace quantities can cause this reaction to go to crap. Your bubbles are CO2 and N2 I believe
this has been discussed elsewhere.
Copper ammonia complexes are blue, that is more likely then the hydrazine complex.
Edit:  I was wrong, even though I read that this was the reaction of ammonia
solution with sodium hypochlorite, I thought of the products from the partial oxidation reaction of urea with a hypochlorite. Therefore the gasses
produced will be mostly N2 from side reactions and such, some H2 and O2 may be there as well. CO2 will not be among them.
