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: \(0.6 \cdot (3/2)=...?\)

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

0.45

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

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?

OpenStudy (goalieboy):

C

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct!
