Which consequence results when the thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate fertilizer occurs at a runaway rate?

💡 Explanation

Explosive behavior occurs when the reaction accelerates because rapid heating leads to elevated Arrhenius constant, driving a faster decomposition rate with high nitrous oxide yield; therefore, gas release increases, rather than fixing nitrogen or altering buffering.
