The deployment of airbags during a car accident results from a chemical reaction that, until the 1990s, involved sodium azide, NaN3. Sodium azide has since been replaced by less toxic substances that react in a similar way. In older airbags a crash triggers the decomposition of NaN3 to form elemental sodium and nitrogen gas, which fills the airbag. How many moles of N2 gas are produced when 164.6 g NaN3 decomposes?

A vehicle airbag uses a gas generator that contains a mixture of three compounds: NaN3, KNO3, and SiO2. A series of three reactions is used to convert the highly toxic sodium azide, NaN3, into N2 gas and harmless silicate glass. The nitrogen gas fills up the airbag, causing it to rapidly expand in a head-on collision. Balance the reactions involved in the deployment of an airbag by inserting the appropriate coefficients.

A vehicle airbag uses a gas generator that contains a mixture of three compounds: NaN3NaN3 , KNO3KNO3 , and SiO2SiO2 . A series of three reactions is used to convert the highly toxic sodium azide, NaN3NaN3 , into N2N2 gas and harmless silicate glass. The nitrogen gas fills up the airbag, causing it to rapidly expand in a head‑on collision.
