here, we have to compute number of moles of sodium azide. Such number is:
\[n = \frac{{39}}{{65}} = ...?\]
since the molecular weight of sodium azide is \(65\)
OpenStudy (goalieboy):
0.6
OpenStudy (photon336):
You find the # of moles of nitrogen and then since you know that it's STP, temperature = 298K and pressure is 1 atm.
so you would use the formula pV= nRT and solve for V
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
correct! we start with \(0.6\) moles of sodium azide.
Now, looking at the involved chemical reaction, we note that for every one mole of sodium azide, there are \(3/2\) moles of nitrogen. So the moles of produced nitrogen are:
\(0.6 \cdot (3/2)=...?\)

I got a different result, please retry
OpenStudy (goalieboy):
0.9
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
correct!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
now, in order to get the requested volume, we can apply the procedure suggested by @Photon336

how would we do that
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
we can also apply this procedure:
since one mole occupies \(22.4\) liters, then \(0.9\) moles will occupy:
\(V=0.9 \cdot 22.4=...?\)
OpenStudy (goalieboy):
20.16
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so, what is the right option?
