The balanced chemical reaction is given above however I believe the coefficients are wrong. It should be:

4K + O2 = 2K2O

We use data from that reaction to obtain relationships between substances. We are given the amount of potassium that reacts. We proceed as follows:

1.52 mol K ( 2 mol K2O / 4 mol K ) = 0.76 mol of K2O is formed

The moles of potassium oxide produced by the 1.52 moles of potassium ions are 0.76 moles.

The reaction of potassium and oxide will be given as:

[tex]\rm 4\;K^+\;+\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;2\;K_2O[/tex]

From the reaction, 4 moles of potassium will give 2 moles of Potassium oxide.

So, 1.52 moles of potassium gives:

[tex]\rm K_2O\;=\;1.52\;\times\;\dfrac{2}{4}[/tex] moles

= 1.52 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.5 moles

= 0.76 moles.

The moles of potassium oxide produced by the 1.52 moles of potassium ions are 0.76 moles.
