The air bags in cars are inflated when a collision triggers the explosive, highly exothermic decomposition of sodium azide (NaN3

): 2NaN3(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N2(g) The passenger-side air bag in a typical car must fill a space approximately four times as large as the driver-side bag to be effective. Calculate the mass of sodium azide required to fill a 113-L air bag. Assume the pressure in the car is 1.00 atm and the temperature of N2 produced is 85°C.

Answer : The mass of NaN_3 required is, 166.4 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of nitrogen gas.

Using ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

where,

P = Pressure of N_2 gas = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of N_2 gas = 113 L

n = number of moles N_2 = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of N_2 gas = 85^oC=273+85=358K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.00atm\times 113L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 358K

n=3.84mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of sodium azide.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of N_2 produced from 2 mole of NaN_3

So, 3.84 moles of N_2 produced from \frac{2}{3}\times 3.84=2.56 moles of NaN_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of NaN_3

\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=\text{ Moles of }NaN_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaN_3

Molar mass of NaN_3 = 65 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=(2.56moles)\times (65g/mole)=166.4g

Therefore, the mass of NaN_3 required is, 166.4 grams.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:  Gold act as cathode.

Explanation:

Standard potential for an electrochemical cell is given by:

E^0{cell} = standard electrode potential =E^0{cathode}-E^0{anode}

The E^0 values have to be reduction potentials.  

Reduction potentials for given elements

E^o_{Be^{2+}/Be}=-1.97V

E^o_{Au^{3+}/Au}=+1.40V

The element Be with negative reduction potential will lose electrons undergo oxidation and thus act as anode.The element Au with positive reduction potential will gain electrons undergo reduction and thus acts as cathode.

Cathode : 2Au^{3+}+6e^-\rightarrow 2Au

Anode : 3Be\rightarrow 3Be^{2+}+6e^-

3Be+2Au^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Au+3Be^{2+}(aq)

Thus gold act as cathode.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: The oxygen atom in a water molecule carries a negative electrical charge.

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) is an intermolecular force having partial ionic-covalent character. H-bonding takes place between a hydrogen atom (attached with an electronegative atom e.g. O, N and F) and an electronegative atom (O,N and F).

In , H_2O , O is a highly electronegative atom attached to a H atom through a covalent bond. Therefore O atom gets partial negative charge and H atoms get partial positive charge.

How many moles are in 442.8 g of strontium carbonate (SrCO3)?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

3 moles

Explanation:

SrCO3

Mass = 442.8g

Molar mass = (87.6 + 12 * [16*3]) = 147.6g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 442.8 / 147.6

Number of moles = 3
