Chlorine dioxide is used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent. In water, it reacts to form chloric acid (HClO3), according to the following balanced equation: 6 ClO2 + 3 H2O → 5 HClO3 + HCl If excess ClO2 is mixed with 18.0 mL of H2O (d = 0.998g/1ml ) how many grams of HClO3 are formed? would be very helpful if the answer was explained with steps
