Question

On heating ${\mathrm{NH}}_4{\mathrm{NO}}_3$ strongly which is obtained?

• A. ${\mathrm{NO}}_2$
• B. ${\mathrm{NH}}_3$
• C. ${\mathrm{N}}_2$
• D. ${\mathrm{N}}_2\mathrm{O}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

${\mathrm{N}}_2\mathrm{O}$

Explanation for correct answer:

Option D ${\mathrm{N}}_2\mathrm{O}$

• Decomposition reactions are the reaction in which chemical species break up into simpler parts.
• On heating Ammonium nitrate, Nitrous oxide, and water is formed.

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

• Hence option D is correct.
