Chapter 10.4, Problem 2CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of ${\text{NaN}}_3$ required for an air bag is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation elaborates the physical properties of gases by relating pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles with each other with the help of gas law. This can be shown by:

$PV=nRT$

Here, $n$ is thenumber of moles, $R$ is the gas constant, $T$ is the temperature, $V$ is the volume, and $P$ is the pressure.

The formula for conversion of temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin is represented as

$T\left(\text{K}\right)=T\left(°\text{C}\right)+273.15$
