Answer:
CS_2+3Cl_2\rightarrow CCl_4+S_2Cl_2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken.

In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.

The given chemical equation is:


CS_2+Cl_2\rightarrow CCl_4+S_2Cl_2

The balanced chemical equation is:


CS_2+3Cl_2\rightarrow CCl_4+S_2Cl_2
