Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate, nitrous acid (laughing gas) is obtained. \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3 \underset{250^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow}} \mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
