Answer:
1. 2NaN₃(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N₂(g)
2. 14.5 g NaN₃
Explanation:
The answer is incomplete, as it is missing the required values to solve the problem. An internet search shows me these values for this question. Keep in mind that if your values are different your result will be different as well, but the solving methodology won't change.
" 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 (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen. 2. Suppose 71.0 L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 16.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. "
1. The <u>reaction that takes place is</u>:
- 2NaN₃(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N₂(g)
2. We use PV=nRT to <u>calculate the moles of N₂ that were produced</u>.
P = 1 atm
V = 71.0 L
n = ?
T = 16.0 °C ⇒ 16.0 + 273.16 = 289.16 K
- 1 atm * 71.0 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 289.16 K
Now we <u>convert N₂ moles to NaN₃ moles</u>:
- 0.334 mol N₂ *
= 0.223 mol NaN₃
Finally we <u>convert NaN₃ moles to grams</u>, using its molar mass:
- 0.223 mol NaN₃ * 65 g/mol = 14.5 g NaN₃
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?
a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA
d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells
Answer:
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
Explanation:
Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).
This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.
All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.

Through hypothesis and experiments
PbSO₄ partially dissociates in water. the balanced equation is;
PbSO₄(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)
Initial - -
Change -X +X +X
Equilibrium X X
Ksp = [Pb²⁺(aq)] [SO₄²⁻(aq)]
1.6 x 10⁻⁸ = X * X
1.6 x 10⁻⁸ = X²
X = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M
Hence the Pb²⁺ concentration in underground water is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M.
[Pb²⁺] = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M.
= 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ mol / L x 207 g / mol
= 26.91 ppm
