Question

How many moles of carbon tetrachloride are produced when 4.63 mol of carbon reacts with

excess chlorine? Complete and balance the equation for this chemical reaction first.

Answer 1

4.63 moles of CCl4

Step-by-step explanation:

C + 2Cl2 = CCl4

The balanced equation tells us that we'll obtain 1 mole of CCl4 for every 1 mole of C, assuming we have 2 or more moles of Cl2 (which we do in this problem).

Therefore, if we start with 4.63 moles of C, we'll produce 4.63 moles of CCl4
