    Chemical reaction of sodium azide in airbag

    The sodium azide that is stored in sealed chemical


    propellant is released when the initiator is triggered
    by the crash sensor.

    Sodium azide decomposes under high temperature
    into sodium metal and nitrogen gas.

    The nitrogen gas produced by the reaction eventually
    inflates the airbag.
