What does airbag, used for safety of car driver, contain?

  • A.Sodium bicarbonate
  • B.Sodium azide
  • C.Sodium nitrite
  • D.Sodium peroxide

Answer: B

A car airbag contains sodium azide, NaN3.

A crash sensor ignites it and it decomposes in milliseconds, releasing nitrogen gas that inflates the bag:

\[ \mathrm{2NaN_3 \rightarrow 2Na + 3N_2} \]

The whole process takes about 30 milliseconds.
