The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces
1 answer:
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.
The moles of NaN₃ are:
The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:

Answer:
D. -120.9 kJ
Explanation:
According to Hess's law ,the total enthalpy change for a reaction is the sum of all changes regardless of the stages or the steps of the reaction.
....(1)
(this reaction should be reversed in order to reach the required reaction )
On reversing the reaction the sign of get reversed.
(In this case change sign from '-' to'+'. Hence = + 65 kJ)
....(1)
......(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2)
(It is nearly equal to -120.9 kJ)
