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.

If an atom has an electron configuration of 2.8.2, what will it be most likely to bond with?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

B. Two chlorine atoms

Explanation:

This electronic configuration shows that the given atom is magnesium.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg¹² = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

There are two valance electrons of magnesium that's why it would react with two atoms of chlorine. Chlorine is present in seventeen group. It has seven valance electrons. It required just one electron to get complete octet. While magnesium needed to lose two electrons to get complete octet. That's why two chlorine atoms bonded with one magnesium atom. Thus both would get complete octet.

Mg + Cl₂  →   MgCl₂

To make use of an ionic hydrate for storing solar energy, you place 422.0 kg of sodium sulfate decahydrate on your house roof. A
Law Incorporation [45]

Complete Question

To make use of an ionic hydrate for storing solar energy, you place 422.0 kg of sodium sulfate decahydrate on your house roof. Assuming complete reaction and 100% efficiency of heat transfer, how much heat (in kJ) is released to your house at night? Note that sodium sulfate decahydrate will transfer 354 kJ/mol.

Answer:

The amount of energy released is x = 4.63650 *10^5 KJ

Explanation:

Number of moles is mathematically represented as

                         n =\frac{mass}{Molar\ Mass}

substituting 422.0kg = 422 *10^3g for mass of sodium sulfate decahydrate(Na_2 SO_4 \cdot 10H_2 O), 322.2g/mol (This value is a constant )for the molar mass of sodium sulfate decahydrate

                        n= \frac{422*10^3}{322.2}

                           = 1309.7 \ moles

From the question we are told that

            1 mole of sodium sulfate decahydrate generates 354KJ of energy

         So  1309.7 mole would generate  x

Now stating the relation mathematically

                 1 mol → 354KJ

                 1309.7 mol → x

=>      x = 4.63650 *10^5 KJ
