**Air Bag Activation through Sodium Azide Decomposition** **Question:** 4. 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 (NaN₃) to decompose explosively according to the following reaction: \[ 2 \text{NaN}_3(s) \rightarrow 2 \text{Na}(s) + 3 \text{N}_2(g) \] What mass of NaN₃(s) must be reacted to inflate an air bag to 70.0 L at 25°C and 0.995 atm? **Solution and Explanation:** To solve this problem, one needs to utilize concepts from the ideal gas law and stoichiometry based on the given chemical reaction. The goal is to calculate the mass of sodium azide required for the airbag inflation. **Additional Note:** - Study up on the postulates and meanings of the kinetic molecular theory (KMT); these problems suggest the types of calculations you can perform.
