Chlorine dioxide (ClO2), which is produced by the reaction below, has been tested as a disinfectant for municipal water treatment.

2 NaClO2(aq) + Cl2(g) → 2 ClO2(g) + 2 NaCl(aq)
(a) Using data from the Standard Reduction Potentials table, calculate ℰ°, ΔG°, and K at 25°C for the production of ClO2.
ℰ°        V
ΔG°        kJ
K        

(b) One of the concerns in using ClO2 as a disinfectant is that the carcinogenic chlorate ion (ClO3 ) might be a by-product. It can be formed from the following reaction.
ClO2(g) → ClO3(aq) + Cl(aq)
Balance the equation for the decomposition of ClO2. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter at 25°C and 1 atm in your answer.)
