Question

When two ammonium nitrate molecules collide with each other and then chemically decompose as a result, how many NEW molecules (in total) will be produced?

Answer 1

The collision and decomposition of 2 ammonium nitrate molecules results in the formation of 2 molecules of $N_2O$ and 4 molecules of $H_2O$

Decomposition reaction

Ammonium nitrate decomposes to produce nitrous oxide and water according to the following equation:

$NH_4NO_3 --- > N_2O + 2H_2O$

In the above, a mole of ammonium nitrate decomposes to form a mole of nitrous oxide and 2 moles of water.

If moles of ammonium nitrate decomposes, the equation becomes:

$2NH_4NO_3 ---- > 2N_2O + 4H_2O$

Thus, 2 moles of nitrous oxide and 4 moles of water would be formed.
