The airbag's inflation system reacts sodium azide (NaN3) with potassium nitrate (KNO3 to produce nitrogen gas. Hot blasts of the nitrogen inflate the airbag.
Gas is created, increasing n; and The added gas increases the pressure and then the volume of the airbag. for my fellow cheaters out there
A number of different methods are used see wikipedia article "Airbag" for a pretty full account. The most intersting from a chemistry point of view is the original method which used sodium azide, Na3N which was detonated to produce sodium and nitrogen gas: 2 NaN3 → 2Na + 3 N2 The sodium metal was mopped up by silica, SiO2, to produce silcates.
Yes it is possible
There are various ways to artificially inflate the belly, none of which can be attempted safely. If you or someone you know feels a compulsion to inflate themselves they might possibly need to discuss this with a health professional, who will be qualified to explain, among other things, the dangers involved.

An airbag typically takes about 20 to 30 milliseconds to fully inflate after a collision is detected. The rapid deployment is crucial for providing immediate protection to occupants during a crash, as the airbag needs to inflate before the occupant makes contact with the vehicle's interior. This quick inflation is achieved through a chemical reaction that generates gas, allowing the airbag to expand almost instantaneously.
An airbag typically takes about 20 to 30 milliseconds to inflate after a collision is detected. This rapid deployment is crucial for providing protection to occupants during a crash. The entire inflation process occurs almost instantaneously, allowing the airbag to fully expand before the occupant makes contact with it.
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.
Air bag stoichiometry refers to the chemical reaction that takes place inside an airbag inflator system to rapidly generate nitrogen gas to inflate the airbag during a crash. The process involves the decomposition of a solid chemical propellant to produce gas, which inflates the airbag within milliseconds to protect the occupants.
An airbag reaction is typically considered to be an exothermic reaction because it releases energy in the form of heat and light. During a collision, the chemical reaction that occurs within the airbag system produces a rapid release of gases that inflate the airbag, resulting in heat being generated.
When an airbag is inflated, a chemical reaction involving the rapid decomposition of sodium azide (NaN3) occurs. This reaction produces nitrogen gas (N2) which rapidly fills the airbag, causing it to inflate quickly to protect the occupants of the vehicle in the event of a collision.

The airbag contains sodium azide (NaN3) with potassium nitrate (KNO3) to produce nitrogen gas. Hot blasts of the nitrogen inflate the airbag.
Once activated, the air bag will fully inflate in 1/25 of a second or 40mil seconds.
An airbag typically inflates in about 20 to 30 milliseconds after a collision is detected. This rapid deployment is crucial for providing timely protection to passengers during a crash. The quick inflation is made possible by a chemical reaction that produces gas, enabling the airbag to fully deploy before the occupant can make contact with the steering wheel or dashboard.
No, it is undesirable to have any residual chemicals left in an airbag after it has inflated as it can be harmful if exposed to the skin or eyes of vehicle occupants. The design of airbags aims to efficiently deploy and inflate using a gas-producing chemical reaction that results in complete inflation.
Airbag deployment is a physical change. It involves the rapid release of gas (usually from a chemical reaction) that inflates the airbag, without changing the chemical composition of the materials involved.
