Question

Automobile airbags inflate due to the formation of nitrogen gas from the chemical reaction

2NaN3(s)- 3N2(g) + 2Na(s)

Identify the number of each atom in the reactants and products for this balanced reaction. Identify the number of Ana atoms in the reactants and products.

Answer 1

Two mole of sodium azide will produce three mole of nitrogen gas and two mole of sodium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sodium azide when heated it converted into the dinitrogen and sodium.

Sodium is produced in the solid form while dinitrogen produce in gaseous form. The chemical reaction is given below:

Chemical equation:

NaN3 + heat → N₂ + Na

Balance chemical equation:

2NaN3(s) + heat → 3N₂(g) + 2Na(s)

Two mole of sodium azide will produce three mole of nitrogen gas and two mole of sodium.
