Sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are not good substitute for sodium azide in airbags since the require more mass and produce less gas.
<h3>Which is the better chemical for an airbag?</h3>
The chemical equation for the production of nitrogen gas from sodium azide is given below:
1 mole or 66 go of sodium azide produces 3 moles or 67.2 L of nitrogen gas.
The equation for the production of carbon dioxide from sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid is given below:
- Na₂CO₃ + CH₃COOH → CH₃COONa + CO₂ + H₂O
1 mole, 106 g of Na₂CO₃ and 1 mole, 82 g of CH₃COOH are required to produce 1 mole or 22.4 L of CO₂.
The mass of sodium azide required is less than that of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid required. Also, sodium azide produces a greater volume of gas. Therefore, sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are not good substitute for sodium azide in airbags.
In conclusion, sodium azide is a better choice in airbags.

A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since only one element, not two different elements, is involved. Examples are the diatomic molecule hydrogen (H2) and the polyatomic molecule sulfur (S8).
The molecular formula shows the exact number of molecules. Therefor, the empirical formula is the simplest formula of the molecular formula
PH is the test of acidity or basicity of a solution. it follows the formula:
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] where NaF is the salt and HF is the acid in this case.
By literature, Ka of HF is 3.5*10^-4
<span>pKa= -log(Ka)=</span><span> 3.46 </span>
<span>pH = pKa + log [NaF / [HF] </span>
4.05 = 3.46 + log [NaF / [HF]
log [NaF / [HF]<span> = 0.59
</span>
[NaF / [HF] = 3.89
