Question

CH4 + CL2 -------> CCL4 + HCL i need steps​

Answer 1

Answer:

The balanced equation is : CH4 + 4Cl2 ===> CCl4 + 4HCl

Answer 2

Answer:

CH4 + 4CL₂ -------> CCl₄ + 4HCl

Explanation:

Here is the step by step explanation that you have asked.

CH₄ + Cl₂ -------> CCl₄ + HCl

Step 1: Write the no. of atoms of each element involved in the reaction

Reactant       Product

$\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c c c } C & 1 & C & 1\\ H & 4 & H & 1 \\ Cl & 2 & Cl & 4 + 1 = 5\end{tabular}\end{center}$

Step 2: Balance the reaction to get equal no. of atoms on Both sides (reactants and products)

CH4 + Cl₂ -------> CCl₄ + 4HCl₄

$\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c c c } C & 1 & C & 1\\ H & 4 & H & 1\times 4 \\ Cl & 2 & Cl & 4 + 4 = 8\end{tabular}\end{center}$

CH4 + 4CL₂ -------> CCl₄ + 4HCl

$\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c c c } C & 1 & C & 1\\ H & 4 & H & 1\times 4 \\ Cl & 2 \times 4 = 8 & Cl & 4 + 4 = 8\end{tabular}\end{center}$

Hope it helps ♡

Have a great day :)
