Question 2 (15 marks in total)

(a)      The reaction between potassium super oxide, KO2 , and CO2  is used as a source of O2  and

absorber of CO2 in self-contained breathing equipment used by rescue workers. The relevant chemical equation for this process is given below.

4KO2(s)  +  2CO2(g) ——→ 2K2CO3(s)  +  3O2(g)

(i)     (1 mark) Show that the molar mass of K2CO3 is 138.19 g mol- 1

M(K2CO3) = 2 × 39.09 + 12.01 + 3 × 16.0 = 138.19 g mol-1

(ii)       (2 marks) In a breathing equipment, 30 g of potassium super oxide is used. Calculate

the amount in moles of potassium super oxide used in this equipment. M(KO2) =71.09 g mol- 1

n(KO2) = = − 1 = 0.422 mol

(iii)      (2 marks) Calculate the mass of O2 produced in this equipment.

= = × 3 = 0. 3165 mol

M(O2) = 0.3165 mol × 32.0 g mol-1 = 10.128 g = 10.1 g

(iv)      (2  marks) If a person breathes out 8.9 g of CO2 to react with 30.0 g of potassium

super oxide determine which chemical is the limiting reactant in this equipment. Show your working.

n (CO2 ) = = −1 = 0. 2022 mol

For all KO2(0.422 mol) we need n(CO2) = × 2 = 0. 211 mol We have only 0.2022 mol of CO2 . So the limiting reactant is CO2 .

(v)       (2  marks) Use your answer to (iv) above to calculate the mass of K2CO3 produced in this equipment.

n(K2CO3) = n(CO2) = 0.2022 mol

m(K2CO3) 0.2022 mol × 138.19 g mol-1 = 27.9 g

(vi)      (2 marks) A student dissolves 30.5 g of K2CO3 in 250 mL of deionised water.

Calculate the concentration of K+ ions in the solution.

n(K2CO3) = −1 = 0. 2207 mol

C(K2CO3) = = 0. 8828 mol L− 1

C(K+) = 2 × 0.8828 mol L-1 = 1.7656 mol L-1 = 1.77 mol L-1

(vii)     (4 marks) Some sulfuric acid is spilled on a lab bench. You can neutralize the acid by

sprinkling sodium bicarbonate on it.

2NaHCO3(s)  +  H2 SO4(aq) —→ Na2 SO4(aq)  + 2H2O(l)  +  2CO2(g)

Sodium bicarbonate is added until the fizzing due to the formation of CO2(g) stops.

If 27.5 mL of 6 mol L- 1 H2 SO4 was spilled, calculate the minimum mass of NaHCO3 that must be added to the spill to neutralize the acid.

M(NaHCO3 = 84.008 g mol- 1

n(H2SO4) = 6 mol L-1 × 27.5 × 10-3 L = 0.165 mol

n(NaHCO3) = 2 × 0.165 mol = 0.33 mol

m(NaHCO3) = 0.33 mol × 84.008 g mol-1 = 27.7 g
