Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Nitrate. Combining a strong reducing group (NH4+) and a powerful oxidant group (NO3-) in the same molecule causes ammonium nitrate to be metastable. It decomposes spontaneously following a reaction of oxydoreduction: NH4O3 --->N2O + 2H2O. read more
Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound, the nitrate salt of the ammonium cation. It has the chemical formula N H 4 N O 3, simplified to N2H4O3. It is a white crystal solid and is highly soluble in water. It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. read more
