Step 1
Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of sodium azide (\( \text{NaN}_3 \)) to produce dinitrogen gas (\( \text{N}_2 \)): \[ 2 \text{NaN}_3 \rightarrow 2 \text{Na} + 3 \text{N}_2 \] Show more…

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.

What volume of nitrogen gas reacts to yield $500.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ of dinitrogen pentaoxide? The volume of each gas is measured at $350^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 2.50 atm pressure. $$\mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}(g)$$
In airbags used in automobiles, the gas that fills the bags is produced from the decomposition reaction of sodium azide, NaN3: 2NaN3(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N2(g) What mass of NaN3 is needed to fill a 2.50 L airbag with nitrogen gas at a pressure of 1140 mmHg and 25°C? R = 0.08206 atm·L/mol·K
