nent when protected from the air and from the action of alkalies. Hydroxylamine solutions decompose with the evolution of ammonia, -- when concentrated quite rapidly, but gradually when dilute: -- 3NH[subscript]3[/subscript](OH)[subscript]2[/subscript] = N[subscript]2[/subscript] + NH[subscript]3[/subscript] + 3H[subscript]2[/subscript]O. Probably the presence of water in the solution aids in the decomposition, -- so instead of using water as a solvent, absolute methyl alcohol can be employed. The liquid then undergoes but slight decomposition. The solution of free hydroxylamine is strongly alkaline, when distilled no residue remains, and the
