The reaction of potassium superoxide, KO 2 , is used in life-support systems to replace CO 2
Question:
The reaction of potassium superoxide, KO2, is used in life-support systems to replace CO2(g) in expired air with O2(g). The unbalanced chemical equation for the reaction is given below.
KO2(s) + CO2(g) → K2CO3(s) + O2(g)
(a) How many moles of O2(g) are produced by the reaction of 88.0 g CO2(g) with excess KO2(s)?
(b) How many grams of KO2(s) are consumed per 1.000 X 103 g CO2(g) removed from expired air?
(c) How many moles of K2CO3 are produced per milligram of K2CO3 consumed?
