Ammonium perchlorate (NH₂CIO) is a powerful solid rocket fuel, used in the Space Shuttle boosters. It decomposes into nitrogen (N₂) gas, chlorine (C1₂) gas, oxygen (0₂) gas and water vapor, releasing a great deal of energy. Calculate the moles of chlorine produced by the reaction of 0.900 mol of ammonium perchlorate. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 3 significant digits.
