Chapter 2, Problem 29P

Potassium nitrate $\left({\text{KNO}}_{\text{3}}\right)$ is used as a fertilizer for certaincrops. It is produced through the reaction

$\text{4KCl}+{\text{4HNO}}_{\text{3}}+{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\to {\text{4KNO}}_{\text{3}}+{\text{2Cl}}_{\text{2}}+{\text{2H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

Calculate the minimum mass of KCl required to produce ${\text{567 g KNO}}_{\text{3}}$ . What mass of ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ will be generated as well?
