Automotive air bags inflate when sodium azide decomposes explosively to its constituent elements: 2NaN3 (s) → 2Na (s) + 3N2 (g) How many grams of sodium azide are required to produce 30.5 g of nitroge

NaN3 = 47.2 g

Explanation:

Given:

2 NaN3 ⇒ 2 Na  + 3 N2

Find:

Amount of NaN3

Computation:

N2 moles = Product of N2 / molar mass of N2

N2 moles =30.5/28

N2 moles = 1.0893

2NaN3 makes 3(N2 )

So,

NaN3 moles = (2/3) moles of N2  

NaN3 moles = ( 2/3) × 1.0893

NaN3 moles = = 0.7262

NaN3 mass = 0.7262 x 65

NaN3 = 47.2 g

in chemistry, a solution’s concentration is how much of a dissolvable substance, known as a solute, is mixed with another substance, called the solvent. the standard formula is c = m/v, where c is the concentration, m is the mass of the solute dissolved, and v is the total volume
