The correct answer is B. When ammonium trioxonitrate (V) crystals are cautiously heated in a hard glass round bottomed flask, they decompose to produce nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ammonia (NH3) gases. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:
NH4NO3(s) → 2H2O(g) + NO2(g) + NH3(g)
Option A is incorrect because N2O (nitrous oxide) is not produced in this reaction. Option C is incorrect because N2O2 (dinitrogen dioxide) is not a product of the decomposition of ammonium trioxonitrate (V). Option D is incorrect because NO (nitric oxide) is not produced in this reaction, but NO2 is
