Based on the observed performance of the air bag models and the amounts of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid (vinegar) needed for an automotive air bag of 80 or 160 L, are these reactants a good substitute for sodium azide

The reactants are not good a good substitute for sodium azide in airbags because sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid produces far less volume of gas than sodium azide.

Which of the reactants produces greater volume of gas?

The chemical equation of the reactions is given below:

  • Sodium azide reaction: 2 NaN₃ → 2 Na + 3 N₂
  • Sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid reaction: Na₂CO₃ + CH₃COOH → CH₃COONa + H₂O + CO₂

The molar volume of all gases is 22.4 L

Based on the mole ratio, sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid produces far less volume of gas than sodium azide. Thus, the reactants are not good a good substitute for sodium azide.

In conclusion, the molar volume of gases is constant.
