Answer:
108.6 g
Explanation:
- 2NaN₃(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N₂(g)
First we use the <em>PV=nRT formula</em> to <u>calculate the number of nitrogen moles</u>:
- P = 1.00 atm
- V = 56.0 L
- n = ?
- R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
- T = 0 °C ⇒ 0 + 273.2 = 273.2 K
<u>Inputting the data</u>:
- 1.00 atm * 56.0 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 273.2 K
- n = 2.5 mol
Then we <u>convert 2.5 moles of N₂ into moles of NaN₃</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:
- 2.5 mol N₂ *
= 1.67 mol NaN₃
Finally we <u>convert 1.67 moles of NaN₃ into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 1.67 mol * 65 g/mol = 108.6 g
