Problem

A new developed method for water treatment uses chlorine dioxide, ClO2\text{ClO}_2 rather than Cl2\text{Cl}_2 itself. ClO2\text{ClO}_2 can be obtained by passing Cl2(g)\text{Cl}_2(g) into concentrated solution of sodium chlorite NaClO2⋅NaCl(aq.)\text{NaClO}_2 \cdot \text{NaCl}(aq.) is the other product. If this reaction has a 97% yield, how many mole of ClO2\text{ClO}_2 are produced per gallon of 2.0 M NaClO2(aq.)\text{NaClO}_2(aq.) ? (1 gallon = 3.78 litre)
