How many moles of chloroform may be produced from 3.6 moles of chlorine?

assuming that sufficient methane is available.





CH4 + 3 Cl2 -%26gt; CHCl3 + 3 HCl


1. 4.2 moles


2. 7.2 moles


3. 1.2 moles


4. 3.6 moles

How many moles of chloroform may be produced from 3.6 moles of chlorine?
The balanced equation tells us that 1/3 the number of moles of CHCl3 is produced from each mole of Cl2. So the answer is 3.6 / 3 = 1.2 moles; #3.
