Potassium superoxide (KO2) can simulate a plant-type action by consuming carbon dioxide (CO2) gas ...

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:

▸ 3 mol oxygen is produced per mol KO₂ consumed

▸ 2 mol KO₂ is consumed per mol carbon dioxide

▸ moles of reactants equals moles of product

▸ 3 g of oxygen is produced per 2 g CO₂ consumed

▸ moles of products exceed moles of reactants
