Potassium is the simplest form of matter and therefore can not be broken down by chemical change.
If the battery was removed, the energy produced by the battery would not be able to continue its path along the circuit.
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given chemical reaction for this problem about stoichiometry:

Whereas there is a 3:2 mole ratio of oxygen (molar mass = 32.0 g/mol) to iron (III) oxide (molar mass = 159.69 g/mol) and therefore, the correct stoichiometric setup is:
