From Wikipedia:

"This reaction occurs between 170 - 240°C, temperatures where ammonium nitrate is a moderately sensitive explosive and a very powerful oxidizer. Above 240 °C the exothermic reaction may accelerate to the point of detonation, so the mixture must be cooled to avoid such a disaster. Superheated steam is used to reach reaction temperature in some turnkey production plants." N2O, Nitrous Oxide is its common name as is Laughing Gas, its also known as Dinitrogen Oxide or Dinitrogen Monoxide. Ok, well, this is kind of right. Except if you want to use the reactants aswell. Because then, if you balance it, it will look like this:

NH4(NO3)2 → 2 H2O + 5N2O As on each side there are, 10 Nitrogen, 4 Hydrogen and 6 Oxygen.

This in a word equation would be: (Heat)

Ammonium Nitrate (solid) → Water Vapour (gas) + Nitrous Oxide (gas)

N2o Oddly, I can't get the typography right on this one. The O is a capital, not small letter. It will have to do.
