Question

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.
