Answer:

26.9 g

81%

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

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

Number of moles of KO2= 27.9g/71.1 g/mol = 0.39 moles

4 moles of KO2 yields 2 moles of K2CO3

0.39 moles of KO2 yields 0.39 × 2/4 = 0.195 moles of K2CO3

Number of moles of CO2 = 57g/ 44.01 g/mol = 1.295 moles

2 moles of CO2 yields 2 moles of K2CO3

1.295 moles of CO2 yields 1.295 × 2/2 = 1.295 moles of K2CO3

Hence the limiting reactant is KO2

Theoretical yield = 0.195 moles of K2CO3 × 138.205 g/mol = 26.9 g

Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 21.8/26.9 × 100

Percent yield = 81%
