A Chlorine gas \(\left(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)\) is used as a disinfectant in municipal water supplies, although chlorine dioxide \(\left(\mathrm{ClO}_{2}\right)\) and ozone are becoming more widely used. \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2}\) is a better choice than \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) in this application because it leads to fewer chlorinated by-products, which are themselves pollutants. (a) How many valence electrons are in \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2} ?\) (b) The chlorite ion, \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-}\), is obtained by reducing ClO \(_{2} .\) Draw a possible electron dot structure for \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-} .\) (Cl is the central atom.) (c) What is the hybridization of the central Cl atom in \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-} ?\) What is the shape of the ion? (d) Which species has the larger bond angle, \(\mathbf{O}_{3}\) or \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-} ?\) Explain briefly. (e) Chlorine dioxide, \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2},\) a yellow-green gas, can be made by the reaction of chlorine with sodium chlorite: \(2 \mathrm{NaClO}_{2}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaCl}(\mathrm{s})+2 \mathrm{ClO}_{2}(\mathrm{g})\) Assume you react \(15.6 \mathrm{g}\) of \(\mathrm{NaClO}_{2}\) with chlorine gas, which has a pressure of \(1050 \mathrm{mm}\) Hg in a \(1.45-\mathrm{L}\). flask at \(22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What mass of \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2}\) can be produced?
