automotive air bags inflate when sodium azide decomposes explosively to its constituent elements: how many moles of n2 are produced by the decomposition of 2.88 mol of sodium azide?

Respuesta :

4.32 moles of N2 are produced by the decomposition of 2.88 mole of sodium azide.

Equation:

2 NaN3(s) ⇒ 2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g)

According to the above equation, sodium azide has the chemical formula NaN3, while nitrogen gas has the formula N2.

Therefore, if on decomposition

3 moles of N2 is created by 2 moles of NaN3

Z moles of N2 is created by 2.88 mole of NaN3

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 2 moles = 3 moles x 2.88 moles

2 moles x Z = 8.64 moles²

Divide both sides by 2 moles

2 moles x  Z/2 moles = 8.64 moles²/2 moles

Z = 4.32 moles

Thus, 4.32 moles of N2 are produced by the decomposition of 2.88 mole of sodium azide.
