Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. what volume of carbon tetrachloride would be produced by this reaction if of methane were consumed? also, be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

Respuesta :

Methane Gas on reaction with Chlorine gas give Hydrogen Chloride gas and Carbon tetrachloride gas,

                           CH₄  +  2 Cl₂    →    CCl₄  +  4 HCl

According to Balanced Equation,

44.8 L (2 moles) Cl₂ gas when consumed gives  =  22.4 (1 mole) L CCl₄ gas

So, for 1.1 mL (0.001 L) Cl₂ gas, the amount of CCl₄ produced will be,

          0.001 L Cl₂ gas on consumption will give  =  X L of CCl₄ gas

Solving for X,

                              X  =  (0.001 L × 22.4 L) ÷ 44.8 L

                              X  =  0.005 L of Cl₄
Or,
                              X  =  5 mL of CCl₄

Result:
           
On consumption of 1.1 mL of Cl₂ gas, 5 mL of CCl₄ gas is produced.
