here is ur answer

i hope it helps you

Answer 2

Answer: The chemical equations are written below.

Explanation:

Carbon tetrachloride is produced from the reaction of a natural gas known as methane with UV light or sunlight by a process known as radical chain mechanism process.

A series of reaction takes place with the release of hydrochloric acid as a by product.

The chain of reactions follows:

1.  $CH_4+Cl_2\xrightarrow[]{h\nu}CH_3Cl+HCl$

2.  $CH_3Cl+Cl_2\xrightarrow[]{h\nu}CH_2Cl_2+HCl$

3.  $CH_2Cl_2+Cl_2\xrightarrow[]{h\nu}CHCl_3+HCl$

4.  $CHCl_3+Cl_2\xrightarrow[]{h\nu}CCl_4+HCl$

Hence, the reactions are written above.
