Methane gas reacts with chlorine gas to form dichloromethane and hydrogen chloride, as represented by the equation below.
CH4 (g) + 2 Cl2 (g) → CH₂Cl2 (g) + 2 HCl (g)
A 25.0 g sample of methane gas is placed in a reaction vessel containing 2.58 L of Clâ‚‚ (g) at 273 K and 1 atm.
a.Identify the limiting reactant when the methane and chlorine gases are combined. Justify your response.
b. Calculate the total number of moles of CHâ‚‚Cl2 (g) in the container after the limiting reactant has been totally consumed.
C. The reaction is calculated to have a percent yield of 95%. What is the experimental yield of CH₂Cl₂?​
