40.293 L

Explanation:

So let's count how much moles of N2 gas we will obtain.

2NaN3 (s) → 2Na (l) + 3N2 (g)

n (N2) = 3/2n (NaN3) = 3/2*m (NaN3) / M (NaN3) = 3/2*71.4/65.01=1.65 mol

So now we need to use the ideal gas law to count liters.

All numbers must be in Si system

pV=nRT

V = (nRT) / p

V = (1.65*8.314*298) / 101457.5=0.040293m3=40.293 L
