The mechanism for the airbag contains sodium azide (NaN3). In the event of an accident, the sodium azide rapidly decomposes into sodium metal and nitrogen gas. The latter fills the airbag.

What would happen if you blew air into a bag?

If you blow air into a bag, the air fills the bag, causing it to expand. This increase in volume occurs because the air molecules inside the bag move apart and create pressure against the bag's walls. If the bag is sealed and you continue to blow air into it, the pressure will increase until the bag may burst if it exceeds its elastic limit. Conversely, if the bag is porous or has a hole, the air will escape, and the bag won't fully inflate.
