Based on the equation below, how many grams of nitrogen gas (N2) will be produced from the decomposition of one mole of sodium azide (NaN3)? Use a molar mass of 28.0 grams for nitrogen gas (N2). 2NaN3 → 2Na + 3N2

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

The phase where ice changes directly to gas is called sublimation
