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 40.0 L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 12.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
