Chlorine dioxide, ClO2, is used for bleaching paper. It is also the gas used to kill the            anthrax spores that contaminated the US Hart Senate building in 2001. Chlorine        dioxide is prepared by treating sodium chlorite, NaClO2, with chlorine gas. What is        the mass of chlorine dioxide that can be prepared from 5.50 kg of sodium       chlorite?             Balanced Equation:            2NaClO2  +  Cl2 ----->  2ClO2  +  2 NaCl
