Nano3 dinitrogen oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a sweet-tasting gas used in dentistry. when solid ammonium nitrate is heated, the products are gaseous water and gaseous dinitrogen oxide. write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

This is a decomposition reaction, where ammonium nitrate is heated and decomposed to gaseous water and dinitrogen oxide.

Formulas for reactants and products with states are as follows;

ammonium nitrate - NH₄NO₃ (s)

water - H₂O (g)

dinitrogen oxide - N₂O (g)

balanced reactions when the masses of both sides of the equation must be balanced

Balanced chemical equation

NH₄NO₃ (s) - - - > 2H₂O (g) + N₂O (g)
