Particle E is an atom because on the periodic table the number of protons is the same exact number of electrons and the number of neutrons cannot exceed one because protons and neutrons add up to give electrons
Answer:
154 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced decomposition equation
2 NaN₃(s) ⇒ 2 Na(s) + 3 N₂(g)
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 79.5 L of N₂ at STP
At STP, 1 mole of N₂ occupies 22.4 L.
79.5 L × 1 mol/22.4 L = 3.55 mol
Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of NaN₃ needed to form 3.55 moles of N₂
The molar ratio of NaN₃ to N₂ is 2:3. The moles of NaN₃ needed are 2/3 × 3.55 mol = 2.37 mol.
Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 2.37 moles of NaN₃
The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol.
2.37 mol × 65.01 g/mol = 154 g
