Please answer what you can and will marl the brainliest (asap) Comparing Propellants in Airbag Inflators
Sodium azide is just one of the many propellants that can be used to produce nitrogen to inflate an airbag. Many modern airbags use other chemicals instead. The choice of propellant depends on many factors. In this task, you will familiarize yourself with the criteria and constraints that must be considered when choosing a propellant to use.

Part A
When designing an engineering solution, certain criteria and constraints must be considered. Criteria are the features of the design that must be kept in mind while solving the problem. A criterion answers the question, What do you want the design to do? A constraint is something that prevents the design from performing at its best. These constraints can include time, resources, and money.

When designing the airbag, what are some criteria you might consider and what constraints would you anticipate in its implementation?

Create a list of at least two criteria and at least three constraints that you must consider in the design. Rank them in order of importance, with the most important ones at the top of the list.

Part B
Sodium azide is stable at room temperature but decomposes quickly at temperatures above 300°C. It is moderately inexpensive to manufacture but is highly toxic. Read this article on the effects of undeployed airbags. Based on the article, does sodium azide seem like a good match for the criteria and constraints you listed in part A? In what ways is sodium azide a good choice for an airbag design, and in what ways is it not.

Part C
In looking for a chemical to replace sodium azide in airbags, suppose that a cheap, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly chemical was found that decomposed more slowly, producing nitrogen over a period of several seconds. Would this chemical be a good replacement for sodium azide in airbags? Explain why or why not.
