Question

Be sure to answer all parts.
The reaction of methane (CH4) with Cl₂ forms chloroform (CHCl3) and HCl. Although CHCl3 is a general anesthetic, it is no longer used for this purpose since it is also carcinogenic. The molar masses for all substances are given under the balanced equation.
CH4(g) + 3 Cl₂(g) -> CHCl3 (l) + 3 HCl(g)
16.04 g/mol 70.90 g/mol 119.4 g/mol 36.46 g/mol
a. What is the theoretical yield of CHCl3 in grams from 9.50 g of CH4?
g CHCl3
b. What is the percent yield if 57.2 g of CHCl3 are actually formed in this reaction?
