Talk:Hydroxylamine

Kb of hydroxylamine is 1.1 * 10^-8. If I'm not mistaken, the pH of a 1M solution would be 10. Deserves mention in the article. 203.218.91.46 16:08, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

"Hybrid of ammonia and water"
Wouldn't it be more accurate to call it a "hybrid of hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide"? It's half of one combined with half of the other, and their properties seem closer too. —Keenan Pepper 00:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC) I'd support that change.--Smokefoot 02:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Zwitterion
Wouldn't hydroxylamine have a zwitterion in which the proton pops off the oxygen and joins to the nitrogen, giving NH3+O-? 68.173.0.226 (talk) 21:53, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Decomposition energy and explosiveness
Under "Safety and environmental concerns" the article reads "With a theoretical decomposition energy of about 5 kJ/g, hydroxylamine is an explosive"

This seems to imply causation: that because the decomposition energy is ~5 kJ/g (I assume this is large as these things go), hydroxylamine is explosive. But isn't explosiveness to do with the rate of decomposition (and the nature of the decomposition products), rather than simply the amount of energy released?

I've changed it to "Hydroxylamine can be explosive, with a theoretical decomposition energy of about 5 kJ/g."
