Question

when NH4NO3 is heated what are the products will obtain?

Answer 1

Ammonium Nitrate (NH4NO3) when heated gives Nitrous Oxide (N2O) also called laughing gas and Water (H2O).

NH4NO3 + Heat == N2O + H2O

Answer 2

Answer: It leads to the production of nitrous oxide and water molecule.

Explanation:

When ammonium nitrate compound is heated, it leads to the decomposition of this compound. This forms two compounds named as nitrous oxide and water.

The chemical equation for the reaction of decomposition of ammonium nitrate is given as:

$NH_4NO_3(aq.)\rightarrow N_2O(g)+2H_2O(l)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ammonium nitrate decomposes to form 1 mole of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and 2 moles of water molecule.
