The products of the thermal decomposition of ammonium trioxonitrate(v) are?

A. Nitrogen (I) Oxide and Water
B. Ammonia and Oxide
C. Nitrogen and Water
D. Nitrogen (IV) Oxide and Water

Correct Answer:

Option A = Nitrogen (I) Oxide and Water

Explanation

NH₄NO₃ Ammonium Trioxonitrate(V), unlike all other metallic trioxonitrates(v), decomposes on heating to give nitrogen(i)oxide N₂O and water.
