Answer : The mass of NaN_3 required is 71.175 grams.

Explanation :

To calculate the moles of nitrogen gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of nitrogen gas = 763 torr

V = Volume of the nitrogen gas = 40.0 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 62.364\text{ L.torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = Temperature of helium gas = 25^oC=273+25=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

763torr\times 40.0L=n\times 62.364\text{ L.torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=1.642mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of NaN_3.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 moles of N_2 produced from 2 moles NaN_3

So, 1.642 moles of N_2 produced from \frac{2}{3}\times 1.642=1.095 moles NaN_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of NaN_3.

Molar mass of NaN_3 = 65 g/mol

\text{Mass of }NaN_3=\text{Moles of }NaN_3\times \text{Molar mass of }NaN_3

\text{Mass of }NaN_3=1.095mole\times 65g/mole=71.175g

Therefore, the mass of NaN_3 required is 71.175 grams.
