In an experiment, what is the purpose of the control group?

A control group is the comparison group that helps to "make sure your experiment works." A control group is separated from the rest of the experiment and nothing happens to it kinda like a controlled variable. Controlled variables are the variables in a experiment that remains the same for example a temperature, time, type of products, etc..

Hope this helps!

The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces

Oxana [17]

Answer:

1. NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

2. 79.3g

Explanation:

<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen.</em>

NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

<em>2. Suppose 43.0L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 13.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

First, we have to calculate the moles of N₂ from the ideal gas equation.

$P.V=n.R.T\\n=\frac{P.V}{R.T} =\frac{1atm.(43.0L)}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).286.2K} =1.83mol$
