### Understanding Nitrogen and Oxygen Reactions

The reaction between nitrogen and oxygen is given below:

\[ \text{N}_2(g) + 2 \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{NO}_2(g) \]

Having this information, we can determine which of the following chemical reactions can also occur based on the given equation:

1. \[ 2 \text{N}_2\text{O}(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{N}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \]
2. \[ \text{N}_2\text{O}(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{NH}_3(g) + 2 \text{O}_2(g) \]
3. \[ 2 \text{N}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{N}_2\text{O}(g) \]
4. None of the Above

In these options:
- The first option describes the decomposition of nitrous oxide into nitrogen and oxygen.
- The second option shows the formation of ammonia and oxygen from nitrous oxide.
- The third option shows the formation of nitrous oxide from nitrogen and oxygen.

Evaluate the given reactions considering the provided nitrogen and oxygen reaction to determine their feasibility.
