In self-contained breathing devices used by first responders, potassium superoxide, KO2, reacts with exhaled carbon dioxide producing potassium carbonate and oxygen: ___ KO2(s) + ___ CO2(g) → ___ K2CO3(s) + ___ O2(g) (a) Balance the equation. (b) How much O2 could be produced from 85 g KO2?
Potassium superoxide, KO2, reacts with carbon dioxide
to form potassium carbonate and oxygen:
4KO2 + 2CO2 2K2CO3 +
3O2
This reaction makes potassium superoxide useful in a
self-contained breathing apparatus. How much O2 (in
grams) could be produced from 2.45 g of KO2 and 4.62 g
of CO2?
Potassium superoxide KO2 reacts with carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate and oxygen 4KO2(s)+2CO2(g)-->2K2CO3(s)+3O2(g) How many moles of O2 will be produced from 2.50 moles KO2 and 1.50 moles of CO2? Please show work using differential analysis
