Answer:
156 g
Explanation:
Let's consider the following reaction.
2 NaN₃(s) → 2 Na(s) + 3 N₂
(g)
We can find the moles of N₂ using the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
1.50 atm × 60.0 L = n × (0.08206 atm.L/mol.K) × 305 K
n = 3.60 mol
The molar ratio of N₂ to NaN₃ is 3:2. The moles of NaN₃ are:
3.60 mol N₂ × (2 mol NaN₃ / 3 mol N₂) = 2.40 mol NaN₃
The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:
2.40 mol × 65.01 g/mol = 156 g
