Answer:

1.9 × 10² g NaN₃

1.5 g/L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced decomposition equation

2 NaN₃(s) ⇒ 2 Na(s) + 3 N₂(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles of N₂ formed

N₂ occupies a 80.0 L bag at 1.3 atm and 27 °C (300 K). We will calculate the moles of N₂ using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V / R × T

n = 1.3 atm × 80.0 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 300 K = 4.2 mol

We can also calculate the mass of nitrogen using the molar mass (M) 28.01 g/mol.

4.2 mol × 28.01 g/mol = 1.2 × 10² g

Step 3: Calculate the mass of NaN₃ needed to form 1.2 × 10² g of N₂

The mass ratio of NaN₃ to N₂ is 130.02:84.03.

1.2 × 10² g N₂ × 130.02 g NaN₃/84.03 g N₂ = 1.9 × 10² g NaN₃

Step 4: Calculate the density of N₂

We will use the following expression.

ρ = P × M / R × T

ρ = 1.3 atm × 28.01 g/mol / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 300 K = 1.5 g/L

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

E = (hc)/(λ)

E = (6.624x10^(-27))Js x ((3×10^8)ms^(-1)) /

(77.8x10^(-9)m)

E = 2.55 x 10^(-11) J
