Is this not bleach....?

Explanation:

The offensive smell of waz is probably due to hydrazine and its oxidation products... Urine contains mostly urea, #(H_2N)_2C=O#, with which bleach reacts according to the formula....

#(H_2N)_2C=O + NaOCl + 2NaOH → N_2H_4 + NaCl + Na_2CO_3+ H_2O#

...is this balanced...?
