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) + K2O(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
and compounds in
ion 1 and reaction 2 into
ionic or covalent.
If 2.00 mol of sodium azide react in this way, what is the total number of molecules of
N2 will be formed?
(The Avogadro constant = 6.022 x 1023 molecules/mol1)
(show all your calculations, units and significant figures are important)
