Engineering a Better Airbag Ashley Shaw 06/11/23 Data Use 0.0821 L atm mol K for R. Data Table 1: Model Air Bag Activity Data and Calculations Volume of 6 × 9 inch bag 1.20 L Room temperature (in K) 22C + 273.15 = 295.15K Room pressure (in atm) 29.77 inHg 29.921 atm / inHg = 0.9949 atm Moles of CO 2 required to inflate bag at room temperature and pressure. Show work, including all units, in the space provided. 0.9949 atmx 1.20 L 0.0821 atm L mol K x 295.15 K = 1.19388 atm L 24.231815 atm L mol = 0.04926 mol CO 2 Balanced equation for the reaction of NaHCO 3 and CH 3 COOH NaHCO 3 (s)+ CH 3 COOH(aq) H 2 O(l) + CO 2 (g) + C 2 H 3 NaO 2 (aq) Na 1:1 H 5:5 C 3:3 O 5:5 Mass of NaHCO 3 needed for the reaction. Show work, including all units, in the space provided. Grams = 0.04926 mol CO 2 x 1mol NaHO 3 / 1 mol CO 2 x 84.0 g NaCO 3 / 1 mol NaHCO 3 = 84.0 g/mol x 0.04926 mol CO 2 = 4.13784 grams Volume of vinegar required (0.833 M acetic acid) Show work, including all units, in the space provided. Volume ( mL ) = 0.04992 molsCO 2 0.833 mol / l x 1 co 2:1 NaCHO 3 x 1000 mL L Volume (mL) = 0.05992 L x 1000mL/L = 59.92 mL vinegar ****If you did not use molar ratios in the calculations for Mass NaHCO 3 and Volume of Vinegar you are completing the calculation incorrectly.****
Data Table 2: Model Air Bag Trial # NaHCO 3 (grams) Vinegar (mL) Observations 1 4.17 g 60mL Bag inflated but still has some room to expand. It was hard to get all the air out before the reaction without mixing the two reactants. 2 4.41 g 65mL Bag does inflate as fast as I would think an airbag would, bag inflated and seems to be alittle bigger than previous experiment. 3 4.99 g 75mL Bag is all the way inflated and inflated quicker, reaction might be quicker the more reactants reacting. Data Table 3: 80-L Driver-Side Air Bag Activity Data and Calculations Moles of CO 2 required to inflate 80L bag at room temperature and pressure. Show work, including all units, in the space provided. 0.9949 atm x 80 L 0.0821 atm L mol K x 295.15 K = 79.592 atm L 24.231815 atm L mol = 3.2846 mol CO 2 Balanced equation for the reaction of NaHCO 3 and CH 3 COOH NaHCO 3 (s)+ CH 3 COOH(aq) H 2 O(l) + CO 2 (g) + C 2 H 3 NaO 2 (aq) Na 1:1 H 5:5 C 3:3 O 5:5 Mass of NaHCO 3 needed for the reaction.

Data Table 4: 160-L Front Passenger-Side Air Bag Activity Data and Calculations Moles of CO 2 required to inflate 160 L bag at room temperature and pressure. Show work, including all units, in the space provided. 0.9949 atmx 160 L 0.0821 atm L mol K x 295.15 K = 159.184 atm L 24.231815 atm L mol = 6.5692 mol CO 2 Balanced equation for the reaction of NaHCO 3 and CH 3 COOH NaHCO 3 (s)+ CH 3 COOH(aq) H 2 O(l) + CO 2 (g) + C 2 H 3 NaO 2 (aq) Na 1:1 H 5:5 C 3:3 O 5:5 Mass of NaHCO 3 needed for the reaction.

Grams = 6.5692 mol CO 2 x 1mol NaHO 3 / 1 mol CO 2 x 84.0 g NaCO 3 / 1 mol NaHCO 3 = 84.0 g/mol x 6.5692 mol CO 2 = 551.81 grams NaHCO 3 Volume of vinegar required (0.833 M acetic acid) Show work, including all units, in the space provided. Volume ( mL ) = 6.5692 molsCO 2 0.833 mol / l x 1 co 2:1 NaCHO 3 x 1000 mL L Volume (mL) = 7.8862 L x 1000mL/L = 7886 mL vinegar ****If you did not use molar ratios in the calculations for Mass NaHCO 3 and Volume of Vinegar you are completing the calculation incorrectly.**** Question 1: Based upon 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? One additional note regarding sodium azide: the rate of inflation after a triggering impact is 40 milliseconds (0.04 s). After conducting the experiments and observing the reactions I don’t think they would be a good alternative to sodium azide, the reaction time alone I was questioning while conducting the experiments. The quantity it would take to equipt all cars with the amount of sodium bicarbonate and vinegar would not be cost effective or space saving. It makes a good experiment but would not be helpful in a life saving situation. ©2016 2 Carolina Biological Supply Company
