Which of the products would inflate the bag, in other words, which of the products is a gas (at room temp)? After you identify this, you need to know the volume of gas needed (preferably in liters) at room temperature and pressure. Next, find the amount of moles that this volume is equal to using the ideal gas law. Finally, you can use the moles to find the moles of reactants needed.

Not entirely sure, the information given is not sufficient to find the volume of the bag. "inflate a 3 by 5 inch zip baggie" they only gave 2 dimensions.
