Airbags Design: 7 Stoichiometry Examples in Real Life

If two dozen pancakes are needed for a big family breakfast, the
ingredient amounts must be increased proportionally according to
the amounts given in the recipe. For example, the number of eggs
required to make 24 pancakes is
1egg
24 Pancakes × 8pancakes = 3 eggs
aA + bB + … → … + yY+ zZ
1. Airbags Design
The reaction generates gaseous nitrogen that can deploy and fully
inflate a typical airbag in a fraction of a second (0.03–0.1 s). Among
many other engineering specifications, the amount of sodium azide
used must be appropriate for a reaction being that rapid. This is
done with the help of using stoichiometry to estimate the amount of
solid sodium azide. Moreover, it is also necessary that the body or
head of the driver (or passenger) should not hit the airbag while it
is still inflating, as the high internal pressure of the airbag would
create a surface as hard as stone. For the airbag to cushion the head
and torso with air for maximum protection, the airbag must begin
to deflate (i.e., decrease its internal pressure) by the time the body
hits it. When the release of gaseous nitrogen is stopped, gas
molecules escape the bag through vents. This causes the pressures
inside the bag to decrease gradually to the atmospheric pressure
within 2 seconds, making it a soft cushion.
