Use a catalyst to speed up the reaction 2 NaN3(s) ? 2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g) 6 Na(s) + Fe2O3(s) ? 3 Na2O(s) + 2 Fe (s) Airbag Design 2 NaN3(s) ? 2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g) 6 Na(s) + Fe2O3(s) ? 3 Na2O(s) + 2 Fe(s) Assume that 65.1 L of N2 gas are needed to inflate an air bag to the proper size. How many grams of NaN3 must be included in the gas generant to generate this amount of N2? (Hint: The density of N2 gas at this temperature is about 0.916 g/L). How much Fe2O3 must be added to the gas generant for this amount of NaN3? 65.1 L N2 x 0.916 g/L N2 59.6 g N2 X = 92.2 g NaN3 X = 37.7 g Fe2O3 x g NaN3 = 59.6 g N2 1 mol N2 28 g N2 3 mol N2 2 mol NaN3 65 g NaN3 1 mol NaN3 x g Fe2O3 = 92.2 g NaN3 1 mol NaN3 65 g NaN3 2 mol NaN3 2 mol Na 1 mol Fe2O3 6 mol Na 159.6 g Fe2O3 1 mol Fe2O3 Water from a Camel Camels store the fat tristearin (C57H110O6) in the hump. As well as being a source of energy, the fat is a source of water, because when it is used the reaction takes place. x g H2O = 1 kg ‘fat” X = 1112 g H2O or 1.112 liters water 2 C57H110O6(s) + 163 O2(g) ? 114 CO2(g) + 110 H2O(l) 1000 g “fat” 1 kg “fat” 890 g “fat” 1 mol “fat” 110 mol H2O 2 mol “fat” 18 g H2O 1 mol H2O What mass of water can be made from 1.0 kg of fat? Rocket Fuel The compound diborane (B2H6) was at one time considered for use as a rocket fuel. How many grams of liquid oxygen would a rocket have to carry to burn 10 kg of diborane completely? (The products are B2O3 and H2O).
