When heated, ammonium nitrate produces water and nitrogen oxide, often known as laughing gas.
Nitrous oxide is a colorless, non-toxic gas that is widely used to relieve pain or to sedate people, but it is also utilized by people to become drunk. It is a colorless, nonflammable gas with a somewhat metallic flavor and odor at room temperature. While nitrous oxide becomes a potent oxidizer akin to molecular oxygen at higher temperatures. Additionally, it is a sedative that is safe to use and works well when combined with oxygen and breathed through a little mask placed over our nose.
