Gaseous chlorine dioxide is used to bleach flour and used in water treatment. It is produced by the reaction of chlorine with the sodium chlorite: Cl2+2NaClO2 yields 2ClO2+2NaCl. Determine the numbers of liters of ClO2, measured at 0.961 atm and 31 degrees Celsius, will be formed by the 283 L Cl2 atm and 21 degrees Celsius?
