Mass required to inflate air bags


Assignment:

Air bags are activated when a severe impact causes a steel ball to compress a spring & electrically ignite a detonator cap. This causes sodium azide(NaN3) to decompose explosively:

2NaN3(s) = 2Na(s) + 3N2(g)

What mass of NaN3(s) must be reacted to inflate an airbag to 70.0 L. at STP?

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
