from the equation, you get the 3/2 moles of nitrogen as you had of sodium azide.
MolesN2=65g/molmassNaN3
then volume N2, get from PV=nRT
Air bags in cars are inflated by the sudden
decomposition of sodium azide (NaN3) by the
following reaction.
2 NaN3(s) −→ 3 N2(g) + 2 Na(s)
What volume of N2 gas, measured at 1.30
atm and 88.0◦C, would be produced by the
reaction of 65.0 g of NaN3?
Answer in units of L.
