Chapter 5, Problem 5.77P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of dry nitrogen gas produced from the decomposition of sodium azide needs to be determined,

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation is represented as follows:

  $PV=nRT$

Here, P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the universal gas constant and T is temperature.

Also, the number of moles is related to mass and molar mass as follows:

  $n=\frac{m}{M}$

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.
