KO2 is potassium superoxide. It reacts with carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate and oxygen. This reaction makes the potassium superoxide useful in a self-contained breathing devise. It can be used my mountaineers, divers, or anyone who needs or wants to breath under water. The amount of oxygen the devise would make would vary based on how much K02 is available.

∙ 10y agoThree potassium oxides are known: K2O, KO2, K2O2.
the chemical formula for potassium and Oxygen is: K2O Because Potassium has a charge of 1+. And Oxygen has a charge of 2- Hope this helps!
There are multiple molecular compounds which contain the elements potassium (K) and oxygen (O). A common chemical group wholly comprised of these two elements is phosphate, PO4 -3.
If is K2O (potassium oxide) it would be: K2O+H2SO4=K2SO4+H2O It could also form potassium bisulfate: K2O + 2 H2SO4 = 2 KHSO4 + H2O But I'm not sure if you are referring to potassium peroxide (K2O2) or superoxide (KO2)
A compound containing potassium and oxygen atoms would have a formula of K2O, and would be named potassium oxide. This is a binary ionic compound.
KO2
The principal oxidation state of NA in NA2O2 and K in KO2 is +1
The thermal decomposition reaction is:2 KO2------------K2O2 + O20,2 moles of O2 are produced from o,4 moles KO2.
323.2 grams of KO2 is equal to 4.55 moles of KO2. Per the equation, 3.4125 moles of O2 is produced which is equal to 2.055 E24 molecules of oxygen. This means that every mg of KO2 produces 6.36 E18 molecules of O2.
+3
It is KO2 .
KO2, [O2-] being the superoxide anion.
Three potassium oxides are known: K2O, KO2, K2O2.
K + o2 = ko2
You would need 18 grams to get the requirement. Using a chemical equation can help to solve this for you.
when k(potassium)added too(oxygen),it forms ko2(potassium oxide)because one molecule of k is reacted with o which contians always two molecules that means o+o=o2,therefore k+o=ko2 not k2o and there is one more reason that when one metal react with oxygen it forms oxides that is O2
