Question

Identify the reaction type shown and describe the clues that were used to identify it.
NH4NO3 → N2O + 2H2O

Answer 1

Answer : Decomposition Reaction.

Explanation : When a single molecular compound breaks down it gets divided into smaller molecules it is called as decomposition reactions. In this reaction of ammonium nitrate, it gets broken down into a dinitrogen monoxide and two water molecule.

$NH_{4}NO_{3} ----> N_{2}O + 2H_{2}O$

This reaction completely agrees with the statement of decomposition reaction; therefore, it is a decomposition reaction.

Answer 2

The given reaction is Decomposition reaction. Decomposition reaction is the reaction in which reactant breakdown to form two or more products.

Decomposition reactions

The reaction in which a compound breaks to form simpler forms.

This can be represented as A + B = AB.

In the given reaction:

$\bold{NH_4NO_3 = N_2O + 2H_2O}$

Ammonium nitrate is breaking down into nitrous oxide and water. Ammonium nitrate decompose on heating at 300 °C.

Thus, this reaction is a decomposition reaction, as this gives the simpler form of the compound on breaking down.
