I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The correct mass of nitrogen would be 2.9 g. The mass is calculated by multiplying the density and the volume of the substance. The correct answer should have two significant figures since it is the least precise operation.
<span>No. Salt, like all matter is composed of atoms.</span>
Answer:
156 g
Explanation:
Let's consider the following reaction.
2 NaN₃(s) → 2 Na(s) + 3 N₂
(g)
We can find the moles of N₂ using the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
1.50 atm × 60.0 L = n × (0.08206 atm.L/mol.K) × 305 K
n = 3.60 mol
The molar ratio of N₂ to NaN₃ is 3:2. The moles of NaN₃ are:
3.60 mol N₂ × (2 mol NaN₃ / 3 mol N₂) = 2.40 mol NaN₃
The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:
2.40 mol × 65.01 g/mol = 156 g
