1) CH2 (gas) + Br (solid) -> BrC (solid) + H2 (gas)
2) a) CH4 + Br2 -> CH3Br + HBr
2) b) methane + bromine is substitution because one hydrogen atom from methane is replaced by one bromine atom. addition reaction takes place when one molecule combines with another to form a larger molecule so therefore a molecule from X and bromine combine to form XBr.
Replacement I think, hope this helps ;)
Explanation:
When they ask you for the solution they are usually asking for x. So solve for X.
X=-12 so you only have one solution. so the answer is B
Balanced equation : C. CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒ CCl₄+ 4HCl
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.
2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product
3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
Reaction
CH₄ + Cl₂⇒ CCl₄+ HCl
aCH₄ + bCl₂⇒ CCl₄+ cHCl
C, left=a, right=1⇒a=1
H, left=4a, right=c⇒4a=c⇒4.1=c⇒c=4
Cl, left=2b, right=4+c⇒2b=4+c⇒2b=4+4⇒2b=8⇒b=4
The equation becomes :
CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒ CCl₄+ 4HCl
