Solution: This reaction is for the formation of Potassium Superoxide, The reaction is as follow,
K + O₂ → KO₂
First let us confirm that either the given amount of Potassium produces the given amount of Potassium oxide or not, So, As, 39.098 g (1 mole) K produced = 71.098 g of K₂O So, 3.91 g of K will produce = X g of K₂O
Solving for X, X = (3.91 g × 71.098 g) ÷ 39.098
X = 7.11 g of K₂O
Hence, it is confirmed that we have selected the right equation, So, As, 39.098 g of K required = 32 g of O₂ So, 3.91 g of K will require = X g of O₂
Percent error can be calculated by the difference of the theoretical value and the measured value divided by the theoretical value multiplied by 100 percent.
Respiration occurs when glucose (sugar produced during photosynthesis) combines with oxygen to produce use able cellular energy. This energy is used to fuel growth and all of the normal cellular functions.
