Oxygen masks, used for producing oxygen gas in emergency situations, react potassium superoxide (KO2) with water and carbon dioxide to produce potassium bicarbonate and oxygen gas according to the reaction shown. How many grams of potassium superoxide (KO2) should the mask have if each mask needs to produce 27.6 g of oxygen gas? Your answer should include the correct number of significant figures. Upload a picture or pdf of your work and answer. *   4KO2 + 2 H2O + 4 CO2  -----> 4KHCO3 + 3O2
