Dinitrogen oxide decomposition

Too rapid heating produces explosive decomposition. The reaction between hydroxyammonium chloride, NHjOH. Cl , and sodium nitrite gives pure dinitrogen oxide ... 

Dinitrogen oxide, N20, gas was generated from the thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate and collected over water. The wet gas occupied 126 mL at 21°C when the atmospheric pressure was 755 Torr. What volume would the same amount of dry dinitrogen oxide have occupied if collected at 755 Torr and 21°C The vapor pressure of water is...

For the concerted decomposition of N-nitroso compounds in (58), we require only that the orbitals labeled and three-membered ring and forbidden for the five-membered ring. The elimination of dinitrogen oxide from N-nitrosoaziridines is syn stereospecific (Clark and... 

Nitrosyl azide can be sublimed under partial decomposition at low temperatures to form a pale yellow solid. Upon warming, it decomposes to form dinitrogen oxide and dinitrogen. 

An equation can be balanced using stepwise reasoning. Consider the decomposition of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) on gentle heating to produce dinitrogen oxide (N2O) and water. The unbalanced equation for this process is... 

Molten ammonium nitrate undergoes autooxidation-reduction (decomposition) at 170 to 260°C to produce dinitrogen oxide, also called nitrous oxide. 

Write formula unit equations for the following (a) thermal decomposition of potassium azide, KN3 (b) reaction of gaseous ammonia with gaseous HCl (c) reaction of aqueous ammonia with aqueous HCl (d) thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate at temperature above 260°C (e) reaction of ammonia with oxygen in the presence of red hot platinum catalyst (f) thermal decomposition of nitrous oxide (dinitrogen oxide), N2O (g) reaction of NO2 with water. 

N2O. Nitrous oxide, or dinitrogen oxide, is also a colorless gas at room temperature. Its principal uses are as an anaesthetic and as an aerosol propellant, but it is not a major industrial chemical. It is generally produced (in a lab or industrial setting) by the carefully controlled thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) ...
