The initial reaction when an automobile airbag deploys is:
2 NaN3(s) → 2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g).
If 125.0 g of NaN3 reacts, how many liters of N2 gas result at 25.0 degrees C and a pressure of 1.00 atmosphere?
Response:
Let us first convert 125.0 g of NaN3 into moles of NaN3. We do this by first working out the molar mass of NaN3. It is 65.01 g/mol.
(1 mol/65.01 g)(125.0 g) = 1.923 mol
Therefore, we react 1.923 mol of NaN3. Now, we set up a little ratio to figure out moles of N2 produced. From the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation, we know that 2 moles of NaN3 react to produce 3 moles of N2.
Therefore, 2 is to 3 as 1.923 is to x.
2/3 = 1.923/x
x = 2.88
Therefore, ...
