    Chemistry: sodium azide, NaN3
    What mass of sodium azide, NaN3, is needed to fill a 85.0L air bag of a compact car upon collision assuming the barometric pressure is 29.5 in Hg and the temp. is 75.0'F?
    NaN3 ------> 2 Na(s) +3 N2(g)

    for perfect gases (I assume you can make the assumption that N2 approximates a perfect gas): PV = nRT

    You have all the data you need to work out mass of NaN3 needed.

    enjoy! :D

    let me know if you need further help :)
