give one method oh preparation of nitrous oxide . why it is called laughing gas?

Decomposition of Ammonium nitrate on heating,
​NH4NO3 (s) → 2 H2O (g) + N2O (g)

Nitrous oxide is commonly used by dentists as a mild sedative agent. It causes euphoria in the patient and some giggle and laugh. Thus, the nickname laughing gas.

 It is known as "laughing gas" due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anaesthetic.

Nh3+O2 gives N2O+ H2O kindly balance it
