Chlorine dioxide gas is used as a commercial bleaching agent. One method of preparing ClO2 is the reactiong of chlorine gas with sodium chlorite as:
Cl2(g) + 2 NaClO2(s) ---> 2 ClO2(g) + 2 NaCl(s)
If you allow 10.0 g of sodium chlorite to react with 2.00 L of chlorine at 1.50 atm and 21 degrees Celsius, what would be the volume of the chlorine dioxide produced and measured under the same conditions of temperature and pressure?
a. 4.0 L
b. 3.5 L
c. 2.5 L
d. 1.8 L
e. 1.5 L
