The  balanced chemical reaction is given as:

[tex]2NaN_{3}(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_{2}(g)[/tex]

Now, convert [tex]19.0 ft^{3}[/tex] into litres.

[tex]1 ft^{3}  = 28.3168[/tex]

So, [tex]19.0 ft^{3} = 19\times 28.3168 = 538.0192 L[/tex]

Density is equal to the ratio of mass to the volume.

[tex]D=\frac{M}{V}[/tex]

where, M = mass and V= volume [tex](538.0192 L)[/tex]

Substitute the value of density and volume in formula to get the value of mass.

[tex] 1.25 g/L=\frac{M}{538.0192 L}[/tex]

[tex] 1.25 g/L\times 538.0192 L= M [/tex]

[tex] Mass = 672.524 g [/tex]

Now, number of moles of [tex]N_{2}[/tex] gas=[tex]\frac{672.524 g}{28.02 g/mol}[/tex]

= [tex]24.00 moles[/tex]

According to the reaction, 2 moles of sodium azide gives 3 moles of nitrogen gas.

Now, in 24.00 moles of nitrogen gas produced from= [tex]\frac{2 moles of sodium azide}{3 moles of nitrogen gas}\times 24.00 moles[/tex] of nitrogen gas, moles of sodium azide.

number of moles of sodium azide  = [tex]16 moles[/tex]

Mass of sodium azide in g  =  [tex]number of moles\times molar mass of sodium azide[/tex].

= [tex]16 moles\times 65.00 g/mol[/tex]

= [tex]1040 g[/tex]

Thus, mass of sodium azide which is required to produce [tex]19.0 ft^{3}[/tex] of nitrogen gas  = [tex]1040 g[/tex]
