n = inflated moles of gas

n= [p*V] / [R*T]

with

R = constant,

and in an airbag mostly T = constant (25 oC = 298K)

meaning:

[p1*V1] / n1 = [p2*V2] / n2

What chemical makes an airbag inflate?

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.


What gas is in a bike wheel?

If you mean the gas used to inflate its tire, usually compressed air, although nitrogen gas inflation is becoming more and more common in many tire inflation applications.


What happens to an air bag during a car crash?

A accelerometer sensor on the vehicle sends a signal to the airbag to inflate when you have an accident equal to hitting a brick wall at 10-15 mph. The airbag inflation system gets the signal and this causes sodium azide to mix with potassium nitrate which produces nitrogen gas. The sudden blast of gas inflates the airbag at 200 mph. A second later the airbag deflates through tiny holes in the bag. This inflation happens in one-twenty-fifth of a second. The powdery substance left is cornstarch or talcum powder use to keep the bag pliable and lubricated during storage.


How does sodium azide work in air bags?

Sodium azide in airbags reacts with potassium nitrate to produce nitrogen gas, which inflates the airbag rapidly upon impact. The reaction is highly exothermic, releasing a large amount of gas quickly to create a cushioning effect for passengers in a vehicle collision.


Why does an airbag inflate?

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


What air bag system device contains the zeronic potassium perchlorate?

The gas generator in an airbag system contains the zeronic potassium perchlorate. This compound is used to rapidly produce gas to inflate the airbag in case of a collision.


How is airbag inflated?

The sensor is the device that tells the bag to inflate. Inflation happens when there is a collision force equal to running into a brick wall at 10 to 15 miles per hour (16 to 24 km per hour). A mechanical switch is flipped when there is a mass shift that closes an electrical contact, telling the sensors that a crash has occurred. The sensors receive information from an accelerometer built into a microchip.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.


How long does it take for an air bag to inflate?

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.


What gas filles up an airbag?

What is a pyrotechnic inflator for a airbag system?

A pyrotechnic inflator is a small explosive device used in airbag systems to rapidly inflate the airbag during a collision. When the system detects a crash, the inflator ignites to generate gas, inflating the airbag in milliseconds to help protect occupants.


What is inside a airbag when deployed?

The airbag contains sodium azide (NaN3) with potassium nitrate (KNO3) to produce nitrogen gas. Hot blasts of the nitrogen inflate the airbag.


What s the gas that inflates the airbag?

Primarily compressed nitrogen as it is unreactive. Nitroguanidine (also used as insecticide and to start high energy reactions) is sometimes used.
