The inflation of airbags is due to the breakdown of a single chemical substance into two separate substances. Two molecules of sodium azide (NaN3) break down into sodium (Na) and nitrogen gas (N2) during the reaction. How many sodium (Na) atoms are produced in the reaction? 1 Na atom 2 Na atoms 3 Na atoms

The correct answer is 2 Na atoms

Explanation:

To determine the number of sodium atoms produced in this reaction, the reaction described in the question must be written out in an equation and then balanced

2NaN₃ ⇒ 2Na + 3N₂

From the equation above, it can be deduced that the number of sodium atoms produced in the reaction described in the question is 2
