The "air bags" that are currently installed in automobiles to prevent injuries in the event of a crash are equipped with sodium

azide, NaN₃, which decomposes when activated by an electronic igniter to produce nitrogen gas that fills the bag. How many liters of nitrogen, measured at 25°C and 1.00 atm, will be produced by 100.0 g of NaN₃?

Answer:

0.0177 L of nitrogen will be produced

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of sodium azide will be:

2NaN_{3}(s)--->2Na(s)+3N_{2}(g)

As per the balanced equation two moles of sodium azide will give three moles of nitrogen gas

The molecular weight of sodium azide = 65 g/mol

The mass of sodium azide used = 100 g

The moles of sodium azide used = \frac{mass}{molarmass}=\frac{100}{65}=1.54mol

so 1.54 moles of sodium azide will give = \frac{3X1.54}{2}=2.31mol

the volume will be calculated using ideal gas equation

PV=nRT

Where

P = Pressure = 1.00 atm

V = ?

n = moles = 2.31 mol

R = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

T = 25 °C = 298.15 K

Volume = \frac{P}{nRT}=\frac{1}{2.31X0.0821X298.15}=0.0177L

What is the correct ionic formula when mg2+ and p3− react?
Mumz [18]

Answer: Ionic formula will be Mg_3P_2.

Explanation: Mg^{2+} and P^{3-} ions will form a ionic compound. Ionic compounds have both metals and non-metals.

Here Mg^{2+} is a metal and P^{3-} is a non-metal.

The net charge on any compound must be 0.

So we need 2 phosphate ions to balance the charge on Mg^{2+} ions. Similarly we need 3 Magnesium ions to balance the charge on P^{3-} ions.

Criss-crossing the charges, we will get the formula as Mg_3P_2

Criss-crossing is shown in the image below.

Which of the following happens when solid sodium chloride dissolves in water?A.The attractive forces between water and the sodiu
grin007 [14]

Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.

Explanation:

<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).

Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).

<em />

<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.

<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.

Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.
