KO2 is used in closed breathing devices to remove CO2 and water resulting from breathing. The oxygen required for water removal occurs in accordance with the following reaction. The KOH formed also removes the CO2 formed in the device from the environment. KO2 (s) + H2O (s) → O2 (g) + KOH (s) KOH (s) + CO2 (g) → KHCO3 (k) a) How many grams of CO2 mass that can be removed from the environment by 1mg KO2 in the device. Additional Information: Ti: 47.88; Cl: 35.5; Mg: 24.31; K: 39; O: 16; C: 12; H: 1 gmol-1
