Carbon tetrachloride was widely used for many years as a solvent until its harmful properties became well established. Carbon tetrachloride may be prepared by the reaction of natural gas (methane, CH₂) and elemental chlorine gas in the presence of ultraviolet light. Choose the unbalanced chemical equation for this process. CH₂(g) + HI(g) → CCL (1) CHI(g) + O₂(g) → CCL (1) + HCl(g) CH. (g) → CCL (1) + HCl(g) CH₁ (9) + Cl₂(g) → CCL (1) + HCl(g)
