B-Block+Creation+of+Nitrous+Oxide+Reaction

A colorless, sweet-smelling gas. It is used as a mild anesthetic, often called //laughing gas.// Nitrous oxide occurs naturally in the atmosphere and is a greenhouse gas.


One element that makes up Nitrous Oxide is Oxygen; Oxygen is the third most bountiful element in the universe. Oxygen makes up close to 21% of the earths atmosphere. Oxygen is a profound reactive element & is adept of joining with most elements. Required by most living organisms and most forms of combustion. The other element that completes Nitrous Oxide is Nitrogen. Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7 and is also a non-metal. The element Nitrogen was discovered as a separable component of air. Nitrogen is a common element in the universe, estimated at about seventh in total abundance in our galaxy & solar system.

The chemical reaction is significant in life because even though nitrous oxide is used in many ideal routines i.e. dentistry as anesthetic, adding to cars engine to add a boost, used in cooking such as whipped cream, and recreational usage. Besides those that i listed and maybe a few more, Nitrous Oxide isn't needed to keep living organisms alive. Nitrous oxide is useful in the right situations but lets say maybe a life or death situation, it'd be counterproductive.

Chemical reactions are important in everyday life because they're happening all around us. Take photosynthesis, it happens everyday and sometimes we forget about it, but we don't forget to breathe. Other chemical reactions deal with fuel, foods, medicines- the list goes on. When we injure or harm ourselves, our body cells form and build up to make new tissue in our process of healing. trash would be around the earth and anywhere else if chemical reactions weren't here to decompose the debris. Digestion occurs a few minutes after the process of eating is complete, because of chemical reaction. Everything in everday life has to deal with chemical reaction in one way or another.
