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.

What is the chemical formula of ionic compound potassium oxide?
Three potassium oxides are known: K2O, KO2, K2O2.
The chemical formula for an ionic compound of potassium and oxygen is what?
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!
What is the word equation of potassium hydroxide and sulphuric acid?
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)
What is the correct formula for the ionic compound formed between potassium and oxygen?
The correct formula for the ionic compound formed between potassium and oxygen is K2O. Potassium is a Group 1 element with a +1 charge, while oxygen is a Group 16 element with a -2 charge. By balancing the charges, we get K2O as the formula for the compound.
How many potassium atoms and how many oxygen atoms are there in binary compound made from these two element?
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.
What is the chemical formula of potassium super oxide?
The chemical formula of potassium superoxide is KO2.
How many moles of O2 are produced when 0.400 mol of KO2 reacts in this fashion?
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction would be: 4KO2 + 2CO2 → 2K2CO3 + 3O2 Since the molar ratio between KO2 and O2 is 4:3, 0.400 mol of KO2 would produce: 0.400 mol KO2 * (3 mol O2 / 4 mol KO2) = 0.300 mol O2
What is a formula for potassium?
KO2
How many O2 molecules are produced per milligram of KO2 consumed 323.2 grams are consumed of KO2. The equation is 4KO2 2CO2 -- 2K2CO3 3O2?
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.
How do you balance KO2 plus H2O - KOH plus O2?
The reaction is:4KO2 + 2H2O ---> 4KOH + 3O2
Which chemical is used in submarines to form oxygen?
Chemicals aren't used to make O2 on board modern submarines; they use electrolysis to separate the Hydrogen and Oxygen in DI water, then store the O2 in tanks outside the pressure hull. The hydrogen is bled overboard as tiny bubbles (in the wine.... make me feel happy...make me feel fine).
What is oxidation number for o in Ko2?
The oxidation number for oxygen (O) in KO2 is -1. Since the overall charge of the compound is 0, the oxidation number of potassium (K) is +1.
Is KO2 an acid or base?
Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) is a base. Bases contain hydroxide (OH) while acids contain hydrogen (H).
How many grams of KO2 are needed to form 8.5 grams of O2?
You would need 18 grams to get the requirement. Using a chemical equation can help to solve this for you.
Why is KO2 formed when you add K to O wasn't it supposed to be K2O?
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
What minimum amount of KO2 is required for the apparatus to produce enough oxygen to allow the user 15 minutes to exit in an emergency?
This question can not be answered because KO2 is not an existing chemical compound and the probable mistaken compound K2O (potassium oxide) does not produce free oxygen (O2) in a normally possible chemical reaction.
What is the equation for potassium and oxygen react to form potassium oxide?
K + o2 = ko2
