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.

Closed circuit
VMariaS [17]

A. the light bulb goes out once the circuit is open since it causes the flow of electricity to cut off. the light bulb dosent get the energy it needs to light up

Explanation:

B. a simple example of this in our every day life is a light switch. when you switch the light on then the circuit is closed and the energy transfers to the light bulb, when u switch the light off then you cut off the lights source of energy which causes the light to turn off.
