Dinitrogen monoxide, commonly called laughing gas, is sometimes used as an anesthetic in dentistry. It is produced by the decomposition of ammonium nitrate. The other product of this reaction is water. A balanced equation indicates the mole ratios of the reactants and products. The molar mass of a substance allows you to convert between moles and mass. a) Write the balanced equation for the production of dinitrogen oxide and water from ammonium nitrate.
b) How many grams of ammonium nitrate are required to produce 66.0g of dinitrogen oxide?
c) How many grams of water are produced by this reaction?
d) How many grams of laughing gas would be produced from the decomposition of 60g of ammonium nitrate?
