To eliminate the safety hazard created from the first reaction(decomposition of sodium azide (NaN3) into sodium andnitrogen), the sodium produced is reacted with potassium nitrate toyield sodium oxide, potassium oxide, and additional nitrogen gas.What mass of potassium nitrate is needed to react with this excess sodium? (A third reaction uses silicon dioxide to react with the two oxides to make glass, thereby eliminating the very reactivesodium and potassiu oxides).
