The balanced equation for the reaction by thermal decomposition of solid are-

                                   N2O (g) + 2 H2O (l) → NH4NO3 (aq)

The NH4NO3 -3, -3 oxidation state. Nitrogen in NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) has an oxidation number of 4. Chemically speaking, ammonium nitrate has the formula NH4NO3. It is a white, crystalline salt made up of nitrate and ammonium ions. Despite not forming hydrates, it is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic as a solid. It is mostly used as a high-nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture. The effects of nitrous oxide depend on how much has been inhaled, and the chemical slows down your brain and body's responses. The effects of nitrous oxide include pleasure, relaxation, and tranquility. Fits of laughter are what give the term "laughing gas" its name.

Explain the need of the term avarage atomic mass
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The average atomic mass of an element is the sum of the masses of its isotopes, each multiplied by its natural abundance (the decimal associated with percent of atoms of that element that are of a given isotopе). An element does not have an absolute atomic mass.

What is a solvent? what is a solute ? which one is usually found in the greater amount?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
A solvent is something that can have something else dissolved within it and turn into a homogenous solution, while the solute is that something else that can be dissolved into the solvent. Usually, the solvent is found in greater amount because most (except for rare cases) solvents have a saturation point that is below the equal-mass point.
