Carbon tetrachloride was widely used for many years as a solvent until its harmful properties became well established. Carbon tetrachloride may be prepared by the reaction of natural gas (methane, CH4) and elemental chlorine gas in the presence of ultraviolet light. Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this reaction. (HCl is a product of this reaction. Omit states-of-matter from your answer.) chemPadHelp

Explanation:

   Natural gas, Methane = CH₄

   Chlorine gas = Cl₂

   Carbon tetrachloride = CCl₄

The chemical equation:

          CH₄ + Cl₂        →            CCl₄    +   HCl

                              sunlight

*the reaction above is unbalanced in that the law of conservation of mass has not been obeyed

The reaction above involves a series of substitution reaction in which chlorine becomes substituted in the reaction.
