Chapter 5, Problem 33QAP

Dichlorine oxide is used as bactericide to purify water. It is produced by the chlorination of sulfur dioxide gas.

${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)+{\text{2Cl}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)\to {\text{SOCl}}_{\text{2}}\left(l\right)+{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(g\right)$How many liters of Cl₂O can be produced by mixing 5.85 L of SO₂ and 9.00 L of Cl₂? How many liters of the reactant in excess are present after reaction is complete? Assume 100% yield and that all the gases are measured at the same temperature and pressure.
