    Which of the following statement is/are CORRECT? \[K{{O}_{2}}\] finds use in breathing equiment and safeguards the user to breathe in oxygen generated internally in the apparatus without being exposed to toxic fumes outside. The supply of oxygen is due to
    (I) slow decomposition of \[K{{O}_{2}}\]                         
    (II) reaction of \[K{{O}_{2}}\] with \[C{{O}_{2}}\] in the exhaled air
    (III) reaction of \[K{{O}_{2}}\] with moisture in the essential air 
    (IV) fast decomposition of \[K{{O}_{2}}\]

    A) I, II                     

    B)       II, III                   

    C)   I, III                     

    D)        II, IV

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[2K{{O}_{2}}+C{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+\frac{3}{2}{{O}_{2}}\] \[2K{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}2KOH+{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\]
