    Methane Gas on reaction with Chlorine gas give Hydrogen Chloride gas and Carbon tetrachloride gas,

    CH₄ + 2 Cl₂ → CCl₄ + 4 HCl

    According to Balanced Equation,

    44.8 L (2 moles) Cl₂ gas when consumed gives = 22.4 (1 mole) L CCl₄ gas

    So, for 1.1 mL (0.001 L) Cl₂ gas, the amount of CCl₄ produced will be,

    0.001 L Cl₂ gas on consumption will give = X L of CCl₄ gas

    Solving for X,

    X = (0.001 L * 22.4 L) : 44.8 L

    X = 0.005 L of Cl₄

    Or,

    X = 5 mL of CCl₄

    Result:

    On consumption of 1.1 mL of Cl₂ gas, 5 mL of CCl₄ gas is produced.
