A colourless inorganic salt (A) decomposes completely at about 250^(@)C to give only two products, (B) and (C), leaving no residue. The oxide (C) is a liquid at room temperature and neutral to moist litmus paper while the gas (B) is a neutral oxide. White phosphorus burns in excess of (B) to produce a strong white dehydrating agent. Write balanced equations for the reactions involved in the above process.

1.	A colourless inorganic salt (A) decomposes completely at about 250^(@)C to give only two products, (B) and (C), leaving no residue. The oxide (C) is a liquid at room temperature and neutral to moist litmus paper while the gas (B) is a neutral oxide. White phosphorus burns in excess of (B) to produce a strong white dehydrating agent. Write balanced equations for the reactions involved in the above process.
Answer» Solution :`UNDERSET(A)(NH_(4)NO_(3))tounderset(B)(N_(2)O)+underset(C)(2H_(2)O)` `10N_(2)O+P_(4)tounderset("dehydrating AGENT")(P_(4)O_(10))+10N_(2)`
