The Raschig process involves the reaction between ammonia and the hypochlorite ion to form hydrazine, which has been used as a rocket fuel.
2 NH3(aq) + OCl-(aq) H2NNH2(g) + Cl-(aq) +H2O(l)
There are isolated cases of individuals making hydrazine unexpectedly in their homes when cleaning a commode. They start with a cleaner that contains ammonia, and then, when this doesn't work, they mix it with a cleaner (such as Chlorox) that contains the hypochlorite ion. How many pairs of nonbonding electrons can be found on each nitrogen atom in the hydrazine molecule? (Note: Assume that there is a bond between the two nitrogen atoms in hydrazine.)
A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) 3
E) The two N atoms contain a different number of nonbonding electrons.
