Check my answer? Chemical stoichiometry
« on: April 27, 2014, 05:19:51 PM »
I just wanted someone to go over my answer for this question and lemme know if it's good!

Q: The reaction of potassium superoxide, KO2 is used in life-support systems to replace CO2(g) in expired air with O2(g). The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

4KO2 (s) + 2CO2 (g)  :rarrow: 2K2CO3 (s) + 3O2 (g)

a) How many moles of O2 are produced by the reaction of 156g CO2 with excess KO2 (s)?
b) How many grams of KO2 are consumed per 100 g CO2 removed from expired air?
c) How many O2 molecules are produced per mg of KO2 consumed?

My answers: (I am 90% sure i did the steps correctly, i tend to make silly errors in my answers so i just wanted to compare my ans with what some of you get)

a) 5.32 mol O2
b) 323.09 g KO2
c) 6.35x1018 molecules of O2

Thanks!  ;D i hope i got the right answers  ???

Looks OK to me.

I also dont understand part b in this question (attatched the question). For a i got an answer of 6.31x10-5 mol/L. I dont understand what to do in b :(.

OK, What number of moles will produce 6.31 x 10-5 mol / L for that volume?
