The main postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory are:
1. Elements consist of indivisible, indestructible particles Atomic Mass Unit (or amu) :
called atom. The atomic mass unit (amu) is equal to one twelth
2. Atoms of an element are indentical to each other. They  1

4. Compounds are formed when atoms of different 12

atoms of other elements. Today, amu has been replaced by ‘U’ which is known
as unified mass
The main failures of Dalton’s atomic theory are :
1. It failed to explain how atoms of different elements differ Now the relative atomic mass is given as

nitrogen produced chemically from the decomposition
of sodium azide:
2NaN3(s)  2Na (s) + 3N2 (g) ————— (A)
The sodium formed reacts with potassium nitrate to give
more nitrogen:
10 Na(s) + 2KNO3(s)  K2O(s) + 5Na2O(s) + N2(g) —
———— (B)
i. Calculate the ratio (by mass) in which the sodium azide
and potassium nitrate should be mixed in order that no
metallic sodium remains after the
reaction.
Na2O and K2O2, are highly reactive, so it would be
unsafe to allow them to be the end product of the airbag
detonation. These metal oxides react with silicon diox-
ide (SiO 2) in a final reaction to produce silicate glass,
which is harmless and stable.
ii. Write the reaction of SiO2 with sodium oxide and po-
tassium oxide.
iii. Calculate the total mass of the solid mixture of so-
dium azide and potassium nitrate needed to inflate a 72
dm3 air bag is filled with nitrogen gas at of 1 atm and at
room temperature (27oC).
Consider the molar volume of nitrogen gas as 24.0 dm3
at 300 K and universal gas constant, R = 0.0821 liter.
atm.mole–1K –1
(Important : Show all your calculation step clearly)
The sodium azide is prepared commercially by the re-
action between dinitrogen monoxide and sodium amide.
N2O(g) + 2NaNH2(s)  NaN3(s) + NaOH(s) + NH3(g)
.Hr = 55.8 KJ / mol
iv. Calculate Hr for reaction (A) above, the decomposi-
tion of sodium azide.
Given :
Compound N2O(g) NaNH2(s) NaOH(s) NH3(g)
Hf (KJ/mol) +82.0 –123.7 – 425.2 –46.1
