2NaN3(s)⟶2Na(s)+3N2(g)
Given this equaiton, how would you be able to tell how much work the reaction does on its surroundings if there are 23.8g of reactant?

Re: How to find work done by reaction.
Hi!
The equation for work is
. We know the ideal gas formula, PV=nRT and if you convert grams to moles, you can get n. Then, you can solve for PV with nR(R=8.31J/mol*k)T(assuming T is given? if not I believe its 298K?). Then, make that negative and you have the work!
Hope this helps! :)
