Automobile air bags inflate during a crash or sudden stop by the rapid generation of nitrogen gas from sodium azide. 2NaN3(s) ® 2Na(s) + 3N2(g) How many moles of sodium azide are needed to produce sufficient nitrogen to fill a 50.0 L air bag to a pressure of 1.25 atm at 25°C? Please show your work. The answer should have 3 significant figures and be in mols. Thank you!
