Problem PageQuestion The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces large volumes of nitrogen gas. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide () into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen. 2. Suppose of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of and pressure of exactly . Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to significant digits.

1. 2NaN₃(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N₂(g)

2. 14.5 g NaN₃

Explanation:

The answer is incomplete, as it is missing the required values to solve the problem. An internet search shows me these values for this question. Keep in mind that if your values are different your result will be different as well, but the solving methodology won't change.

" The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces large volumes of nitrogen gas. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen. 2. Suppose 71.0 L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 16.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. "

1. The reaction that takes place is:

2. We use PV=nRT to calculate the moles of N₂ that were produced.

P = 1 atm

V = 71.0 L

n = ?

T = 16.0 °C ⇒ 16.0 + 273.16 = 289.16 K

Now we convert N₂ moles to NaN₃ moles:

Finally we convert NaN₃ moles to grams, using its molar mass:

imma come back to you hold on

c. 75.7

i think that is the right
