Solution

The correct options are
A Carbon is the limiting reagent
B Chlorine is the excess reagent
D 0.833 moles of CCl4 are formed
C+2Cl2CCl4
Moles of carbon =1012=0.833 moles
Moles of chlorine=10071=1.408 moles
Finding the limiting reagent:
C=given moles stoichiometric coefficient=0.8331=0.833Cl2=given molesstoichiometric coefficient=1.4082=0.704
Hence, the limiting reagent will be chlorine.
2 moles of Cl2 produce 1 mole of CCl4
1.408 moles produce 12×1.408=0.704 moles of CCl4
Mass of CCl4 produced=0.704×154=108.42 g
