Answer:
Decomposition reaction
Explanation:
Decomposition reaction:
It is the reaction in which one substance is converted into the two or more products.
The decomposition reactions always involved one substance to decompose.
General chemical equation:
AB → A + B
The given chemical equation:
NH₄NO₃(s) → N₂O (g) + H₂O(g)
Ammonium nitrate is decomposed into nitrous oxide and water vapors.
Balanced chemical equation:
NH₄NO₃(s) → N₂O (g) + 2H₂O(g)
when it is rapidly heated it form N₂ and O₂.
2NH₄NO₃ → 2N₂ + O₂ + 4H₂O
By increasing the temperature decomposition is increased and in limited space due to pressure it may cause explosion.
