I am sorry.  I am not doing so well in General Chemistry, as I thought I was going to do.  I took Physiological Chemistry and loved it, so I registered for Gen Chem, and it's hard.

But, here's a question that I hope you guys can't help me out with.  I would greatly appreciate it.
 
I did most of the work, but the last part stumpped me.  I do not know what they are asking for.
__________________________________________________________-
4KCl  +  4 HNO3 +  O2 ------>   4 KNO3  +  2 Cl2  +  2 H2O

Calculate the mass of KCl requiered to produce 567g of potassium nitrate. 
What mass of chlorine is generated as well?
______________________________________________________________

I got :

567g KNO3     x      1 mol KNO3 / 101.11g KNO3    =    5.62 mol KNO3

5.62 mol KNO3   x    74.55 KCl / 1 mol KNO3    =   418g KCl

I got the mass for KCl, but I don't know what to do from there to get the mass for Cl.

I'm sorry, I hope that you guys that help me out on this one.  I really appreciate it again.
take care ^_^

4KCl  +  4 HNO3  ------>   4 KNO3  +  2 Cl2  +  2 H2O

Can you check this equation? It isn't balanced, and looks really odd to me.

I'm sorry, you are right. 
This is the right way


4 KCl  +  4  HNO3   +   O2  ------->  4 KNO3  +  2 Cl2  + 2 H2O

thank you for noticing that.

OK, yeah that makes sense now

1) How many moles of KCl do you have? We will call this number "n"
2) so how many moles of Cl^- do you have?
3) How many Cl₂ molecules are formed by one ion of Cl^-? hint: it's not a whole number
4) So how many moles of Cl₂ molecules are formed by one mole of Cl^-?
5) So how many moles of Cl₂ molecules are formed by "n" moles of Cl^-? We will call this number of moles "m"
6) what is the mass of "m" moles of Cl₂?
