Sodium azide is a substance that can be used to inflate airbags. an electrical impulse causes the sodium azide to decompose, producing elemental sodium and nirtogen gas. write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction. plzzz

Sodium azide is a colorless inorganic salt that can decompose to give sodium and nitrogen. It is an ionic compound and it is very soluble in water, but it is very toxic. The decomposition reaction usually take place at a very high temperature of 300 degree Celsius under controlled conditions. The equation for the chemical reaction is given below:

2NaN3 = 3N2 + 2Na

2NaN3(s)→2Na(s)+3N2(g)

Explanation:

In balancing a chemical reaction, the rule of thumb is that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side must equal the number of atoms of the same element on the product side.

Let us see if the rule was obeyed above:

There are six nitrogen atoms on both the left and right hand sides of the reaction equation

There are two sodium atoms on the right and left hand sides of the reaction equation.

Hence, the reaction equation is balanced.

answer: you could do some invislibe ink.

explanation: i will tell you how to if u answer my question.

catya that's not even a b or c
