Oxygen masks for producing o2 in emergency situations


Oxygen masks for producing O2 in emergency situations contain potassium superoxide, KP2. It reacts with CO2 AND H2O in exhaled air to produce oxygen:

4KO2 (s) + 2H2O (g(= 4CO2 (g) ________ 4KHCO3 (s) + 3 O2 (g)

If a person wearing such a mask exhales 0.702 g Co2/ min, how many grams of KO2 are consumed in 25 min?
