Sodium azide, NaN 3 , undergoes the reaction NaN 3 (s) 2Na(s) + 3N 2 (g).

Question:

Sodium azide, NaN3, undergoes the reaction NaN3(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N2(g). Because this reaction is very fast and produces nitrogen gas, NaN3 is used to inflate airplane escape chutes. Sodium azide can be produced through two reaction steps.

2Na(s) + 2NH3(g) 2NANH,(s) + H2(g) 2NANH2(s) + N,O(g) - NaN3(s) + NaOH(s) + NH3(g)


Starting with 1.0 kg of Na, 6.0 kg of NH3, and 1.0 kg of N2O, what is the maximum mass (kg) of sodium azide that can be produced?
