i) Nitrogen (II) Oxide (NO)

ii) 4NH$4NH_{3(g)}+ 3CUO \rightarrow 2N_{2(g)} + 3H_2O_{(l)} + 3Cu$

Oxidation number of reducing agent increases hence ammonia is the reducing agent

Oxidation number of reducing agent increases hence ammonia is the reducing agent

Oxidation number of copper (Cu) decreases from + 2 to O hence an oxidizing agent


iii) NH$_4NO_{3(s)} \rightarrow N_2O_{(g)} + 2H_2O_{(g)}$
