During a collision, the airbag in a car will deploy and fill up with nitrogen gas. In order for this to occur, solid sodium azide (NaN 3) is ignited and decomposes to produce solid sodium (Na) and nitrogen (N2) gas. a. Write the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of sodium azide. (1 mark) b. If the airbag has a volume of 70.0 L, then what mass of soidum azide would be required to completely fill the airbag at a temperature of 295 K and atmospheric pressure of 101.2 kPa ?
