Fast forward a few years…
As an undergraduate student, you have an engineering internship at a company that designs airbag systems.
You help design an airbag prototype using your excellent chemistry knowledge. Unfortunately…

While you expected this…

This is what happened

On your paper…
Record and/or draw your initial hypothesis for what happened to cause the differences between the two airbags
What further information do you need to revise your design? Come up with 1-2 questions to gain that information.

What happens inside an airbag:

Chemical Reaction:
You asked your supervisor what chemical reaction is taking place inside the airbag. He provides the following reaction:
NaN3(s) Na(s) + N2(g)

On your paper…
Using the information you have now gathered, how can we alter the design to ensure we get exact amount of inflation needed to save a person in a car crash?
Draw and/or write your ideas for a proposal
