The IUPAC rules are
a) Find out the longest chain of carbon in the given organic compound
b) We will name the longest chain.
c) We will identify the main functional group and will assign a suffix to the compound.
d) We will number the carbons in the longest chain selected so that the attached groups attain lowest numeral as substituent
e) We will name the side groups or chains.
Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L
Explanation:
According to ideal gas equation:

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)
V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L
n = number of moles = ?
R = gas constant =
T =temperature =



According to stoichiometry:
4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride
Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces =
moles of carbon tetrachloride
volume of carbon tetrachloride =
Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L
