1. If an automobile air bag has a volume of 11.3 L , what mass of NaN3 (in g) is required to fully inflate the air bag upon impact? Assume STP conditions.
Automobile air bags inflate following a serious impact. The impact triggers the following chemical reaction. 2NaN3(s)→2Na(s)+3N2(g)
2. Carbon monoxide gas reacts with hydrogen gas to form methanol via the following reaction:
CO(g)+2H2(g)→CH3OH(g)
A 1.55 L reaction vessel, initially at 305 K, contains carbon monoxide gas at a partial pressure of 232 mmHg and hydrogen gas at a partial pressure of 373 mmHg.
Identify the limiting reactant and determine the theoretical yield of methanol in grams. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
