Step-by-step solution
6 stepsWrite the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between methane () and chlorine () under UV light.
The reaction is a free radical substitution.
Determine the mole ratio between methane and chlorine from the balanced equation.
From the equation, 1 mole of reacts with 1 mole of . The mole ratio is 1:1.
Calculate the moles of methane and chlorine provided.

Moles ofIdentify the limiting reactant.
Since the mole ratio is 1:1, and we have 2.00 mol of and 1.00 mol of , chlorine () is the limiting reactant.
Calculate the moles of chloromethane () produced based on the limiting reactant.
From the balanced equation, 1 mole of produces 1 mole of .
Therefore, 1.00 mol of will produce 1.00 mol of .Calculate the mass of chloromethane produced.
