Question
Automobile airbags inflate following serious impacts, which trigger the chemical reaction:If an automobile airbag has a volume of 11.8 L, what mass of NaN3 (in g) is required to fully inflate the airbag upon impact? Assume STP conditions.
Step 1
8 L. We also know the balanced chemical reaction of NaN3, which decomposes to form Na and 3 moles of N2 gas. From this, we can conclude that the volume of N2 gas in the airbag is the same as the volume of the airbag. Show more…
