Question 13:
Automobile airbags contain solid sodium azide, NaN3, that reacts to produce nitrogen gas when heated, thus inflating the bag.
2NaN3(s)--->2Na(s)+3N2(g)
Calculate the value of work, w, for the following system if 39.6g of NaN3 reacts completely at 1.00 atm and 22 C.
1. Calculate the number of moles produced
2.Calculate the volume of N2 using the number of moles, pressure, and temperature
3.Calculate the work using the change in volume and the pressure
