How much Cl₂, in g, is required to produce 12.0 g CCl₄ according to the following reaction? CH₄ + 4 Cl₂ → CCl₄ + 4 HCl

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the mass of Cl₂ needed, first calculate the moles of CCl₄ produced: 12.0 g CCl₄ / 153.8 g/mol = 0.078 moles. According to the balanced equation, 4 moles of Cl₂ are needed per mole of CCl₄, so 0.078 moles CCl₄ x 4 moles Cl₂/mole CCl₄ = 0.312 moles Cl₂. The molar mass of Cl₂ is 70.9 g/mol, so 0.312 moles x 70.9 g/mol = 22.1 g Cl₂.
