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 Cl₂ (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 CH₂Cl2 (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?​
