Inside the undeployed air bag are pellets of sodium azide (NaN3). Upon impact an electric current is pass through the NaN3, causing it to decompose into sodium metal and nitrogen gas. The nitrogen takes up a large amount of space.
2NaN3 --> 2Na + 3N2
When a sealed bag is compressed and more space is available in the bag, the air pressure inside the bag decreases. This is because the air molecules are now occupying a larger volume, leading to a lower pressure.
That would surely depend on the amount of air, as well as the strenght and flexibility of the bag.
At higher altitudes, the air pressure surrounding the bag of chips decreases while the air pressure inside the bag remains the same. This pressure difference causes the bag to expand and appear inflated like a balloon.
The airtight bag was sealed at a lower level. As you ascend, the air pressure becomes less outside, and the air in the bag expands. As it expands, the bag puffs up. Go too high, and the bag will pop. I have driven to the top of Mt Evans Colorado, and at 4350 meters the bag WILL pop!
The mass of the bag with air will be the sum of the mass of the bag itself and the mass of the air inside it. The mass of the air can be estimated by knowing the dimensions of the bag and the density of air at the given conditions.
increases. This increase in air pressure can cause the bag to expand outward, in an attempt to reach equilibrium with the surrounding pressure.
When the air inside a zip-loc bag freezes, it contracts and takes up less space. This can cause the bag to shrink or become more rigid. Once the air warms back up, it will expand and the bag will return to its original state.
The temperature of the gas changes
10 inches is the recommended space. The reason is that in a collision the air bag has sufficient room to expand and properly protect you from major injuries.
When a sealed bag is compressed and more space is available in the bag, the air pressure inside the bag decreases. This is because the air molecules are now occupying a larger volume, leading to a lower pressure.
because the air inside the balloon take up the space and it will not allow the balloon to fit in bag
The ideal gas law states that as altitude increases, air pressure decreases. This lower pressure causes the bag of chips to expand because there is less external pressure pushing on the bag. The gases inside the bag expand to fill the increased volume.
the bag inside the bag would expand D:
space between is 25cm
That would surely depend on the amount of air, as well as the strenght and flexibility of the bag.
Depends on size of bag.
