21) 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
22) Gases emitted during volcanic activity often contain high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and
sulfur dioxide. These gases may react to produce deposits of sulfur according to the equation:
For the complete reaction of 6.41 mol of hydrogen sulfide:
A) 308 g of sulfur is formed
B) 410 g of sulfur dioxide is consumed
C) 231 g of water vapor is produced
D) 320 g of total products result
E) 628 g of total reactants are consumed
23) Which of the following processes could theoretically produce the maximum mass of oxygen per gram
of metal salt reactant?
A) 2 KClO3 → 2 KCl + 3 O2
B) 4 KO2 + 2 CO2 → 2 K2CO3 + 3 O2
C) 2 Na2O2 + 2 H2SO4 → 2 H2O + O2
D) 2 HgO → 2 Hg + O2
E) NaBrO2 → NaBr + O2
