Question

To help relieve pain during a dental visit, a dentist may give a patient nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is made in factories by carefully heating ammonium nitrate. At 170°C, ammonium nitrate breaks down and forms a mixture of nitrous oxide gas and water vapor. After the mixture is collected, the water vapor is separated from the nitrous oxide gas. Complete the sentence.

Answer 1

The answer is "Ammonium nitrate is the reactant of this chemical reaction".

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is an ammonium and nitrate ionic crystalline solid. In water and hygroscopic as a strong, it's also highly soluble, although it does not form hydrates.

It uses as a nutrient for generating medications as well as leaven fertilizers and explosive materials. Nitrate in ammonium is sodium bicarbonate ammonium chloride. It is incendiary, an oxidizing agent, and a fertilizer.
