A colourless inorganic salt (A) decomposes completely at about `25^(@)C` to give only two products, (B) and (C ), leaving no residue. The product (C ) is a liquid at room temperature and neutral to moist litmus paper while the gas (B) is a neutral oxide. White phosphorus burns in excess of (B) to produce a strong white dehydrating agent. Write balanced equations for the reactions involved in the above process.

This data inidicates that the compound 'A' is `NH_(4)NO_(3)` and it reacts as follows :
`NH_(4)NO_(3) overset(25^(@)C) to underset(("Neutral to litmus")) underset((B))(N_(2)O ) underset((C ))(2H_(2)O)`
`P_(4)+10N_(2)O overset("heat") to underset(("Dehydrating agent"))(P_(4)O_(10))+10N_(2)`
