Question

Name all the products when ammonium nitrate is heated.

Answer 1

When ammonium nitrate is heated it decomposes into nitrous oxide and water.

$\underset{\mathrm{Ammonium}\mathrm{nitrate}}{\underset{}{{\mathrm{NH}}_4{\mathrm{NO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}}\to \underset{\mathrm{Nitrous}\mathrm{oxide}}{\underset{}{{\mathrm{N}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{\underset{}{2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}}$

In the given equation the decomposition of ammonium nitrate takes place. It decomposes to form 1 mole of nitrous oxide and 2 moles of water.

It does not leave any residue behind on heating.
