Potassium superoxide (KO₂)can simulate a plant-type action by consuming carbon dioxide (CO₂)gas and releasing oxygen (O₂)gas.The other product is potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃).When the equation for this process is balanced,it shows that: A)3 mol oxygen is produced per mol KO₂ consumed B)2 mol KO₂ is consumed per mol carbon dioxide C)moles of reactants equals moles of product D)3 g of oxygen is produced per 2 g CO₂ consumed E)moles of products exceed moles of reactants

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced equation is 4 KO₂ + 2 CO₂ → 2 K₂CO₃ + 3 O₂, showing that 2 moles of KO₂ are consumed per mole of CO₂.
