Air bags are activated when a severe impact causes a steel ball to compress a spring and electrically ignite a detonator cap. this causes sodium azide () to decompose explosively according to the following reaction: what mass of must be reacted to inflate an air bag to 72.0 l at stp?

the mass required to inflate a 72 L bag is 191.491 g

Explanation:

reaction:

conditions:

gas law:

⇒ n = PV / RT

⇒ n = ((1 atm) * ( 72.0 L)) / (0.082 atm*L / K*mol) * (298 K)

⇒ n = 2.946 mol

⇒ m = n * Mw = ( 2.946 mol ) * ( 64.99 g/mol)

⇒ m = 191.491 g

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
