Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN3) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen. Suppose 22.0 L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 11.0 C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted.
Details of the solution is shown below. From the information provided regarding the N2 produced, we could calculate the amount of N2 produced and use that to find the mass of sodium azide reacted.
