Question
In a car airbag, sodium azide (NaN3) decomposes to form sodium metal and nitrogen gas
(reaction1). The sodium metal then reacts with potassium nitrate to produce more
nitrogen gas (reaction 2) according to the following equation:
Na(s) + KNO3(s) → N2(g) + Na2O(s) + K20(s)
a) Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction (1) that happened in the
airbag.
b) Balance the equation of reaction 2
c) In a table classify all molecules and compounds in reaction 1 and reaction 2 into
ionic or covalent.
