Chapter 3, Problem 3.67

(choose chapter or problem)

Automotive air bags inflate when sodium azide, \(\mathrm{NaN}_{3}\), rapidly decomposes to its component elements:

\(2 \mathrm{NaN}_{3}(s) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Na}(s)+3 \mathrm{~N}_{2}(g)\)

(a) How many moles of \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\) are produced by the decomposition of 1.50 mol of \(\mathrm{NaN}_{3}\) ?

(b) How many grams of \(\mathrm{NaN}_{3}\) are required to form 10.0 g of nitrogen gas?

(c) How many grams of \(\mathrm{NaN}_{3}\) are required to produce \(10.0 \mathrm{ft}^{3}\) of nitrogen gas, about the size of an automotive air bag, if the gas has a density of 1.25 g/L ?
