Question
Chapter 11, Problem 16E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chemical properties of argon, neon and helium are to be explained. Also, their uses have to be mentioned.
Concept Introduction:
Argon, neon and helium are noble gases. These noble gases include helium (Z = 2), neon (Z = 10), argon (Z = 18), krypton (Z= 36), xenon (Z= 54), and radon (Rn= 86). These gases are arranged on the basis of their boiling points and low reactivity.
Under a given set of conditions, a gas that does not undergo any reaction is known as an inert gas.
Inert gases, being stable and less reactive, are used in the arc welding industry, cryogenic systems, bulbs, to create an inert atmosphere for synthetic reactions, etc.

Two gas jars are connected to each other, but they are separated by a closed valve. One gas jar contains oxygen, and the other contains hydrogen. What will happen when the valve is opened?
The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces large
volumes of nitrogen gas.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the
decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN,) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen.
