60 Automakers are always investigating reactions for the generation of gas to inflate air bags, in part the because the sodium produced in the decomposition of NaN 3 (see Problem 5.59) presents safety concerns. One system that has been considering is the oxidation of graphite by Strontium nitrate, as Sr(NO 3 ) 2 as shown in the equation below: 5 C ( s ) + 2 S r ( N O 3 ) 2 ( s ) → 2 S r O ( s ) + 2 N 2 ( g ) + 5 C O 2 ( g ) . Suppose that a System is being designed using this reaction and the goal is to generate enough gas to inflate a bag 61 L and 1.3 atm at 23 ∘ C. What is the minimum mass of graphite that should be used in the design of this system?
