since ammonium nitrate decomposes on heating so ammonium nitrate is covered with excess of calcium hydroxide with some water and then heated to get ammonia
Ammonium ions
Nitric Acid
nitrate of ammonia
Ammonia + Nitric Acid = Ammonium Nitrate NH3 + HNO3 = NH4NO3
Ammonia nitrate is used as fertilizer; ammonium nitrite is only a contaminant.
how is this process done

nitrate of ammonia
Ammonium nitrate itself is usually made by reacting ammonia with nitric acid. It does not occur naturally.
There is no reaction
Ammonium Nitrate + Water
No. Ammonia and urea are distinct chemical compounds, as are their nitrates.
Ammonia and nitric acid react to form ammonium nitrate. NH3 + HNO3 --> NH4NO3
Ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3 and is formed by reacting ammonia (NH3) with nitric acid (HNO3). Ammonium sulfate is (NH4)2SO4 and is formed by reacting ammonia (NH3) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Ammonia + Nitric Acid = Ammonium Nitrate NH3 + HNO3 = NH4NO3
Ammonium nitrate: NH4NO3
