Automobile airbags inflate due to the formation of nitrogen gas from the chemical reaction

2NaN3 (s) - 3N2 (g) + 2Na (s)

Identify the number of each atom in the reactants and products for this balanced reaction. Identify the number of Ana atoms in the reactants and products.

Two mole of sodium azide will produce three mole of nitrogen gas and two mole of sodium.

Explanation:

Sodium azide when heated it converted into the dinitrogen and sodium.

Sodium is produced in the solid form while dinitrogen produce in gaseous form. The chemical reaction is given below:

Chemical equation:

NaN3 + heat → N₂ + Na

Balance chemical equation:

2NaN3 (s) + heat → 3N₂ (g) + 2Na (s)

Two mole of sodium azide will produce three mole of nitrogen gas and two mole of sodium.
