Automotive airbags inflate when sodium azide, NaN3, rapidly decomposes to its constituent elements according to the chemical equation, 2 NaN3 -> 2 Na + 3 N2. How many grams of nitrogen are produced when 1000 milligrams of sodium azide decomposes?

2NaN3 -> 2Na + 3N2.
mols NaN3 = grams/molar mass
Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols NaN3 to mols N2
Finally, convert mols N2 to grams. g N2 = mols N2 x molar mass N2.
