solution of Sodium Hydroxide and heated until no more Ammonia is produced. Then the solution is carefully evaporated.
2) 2NaNO3 + 2C --> 2NaCO3 + 2N2
The Sodium Nitrate is melted, and red hot charcoal is dropped into the molten salt, producing sodium carbonate and nitrogen gas.

Your (1) is a good way to make NaNO3. Your(2) is a good way to make third degree burns and eyeballs
bouncing along the floor. Don't do this at home.
Better to remain silent and appear a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
