Quantitative Information from Balanced Equations (Section)

Automotive air bags inflate when sodium azide, NaN3, rapidly decomposes to its component elements:

2 NaN3(s)→2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g)

(a) How many moles of N2 are produced by the decomposition of 1.50 mol of NaN3?


b) How many grams of NaN3 are required to form 10.0 g of nitrogen gas?


(c) How many grams of NaN3 are required to produce 10.0 ft3 of nitrogen gas, about the size of an automotive air bag, if the gas has a density of 1.25 g/L?
