the chlorination of methane does not necessarily stop after one chlorination. it may actually hard to get a mono substituted chloromethane. instead di, tri, and even tetra-chloromethanes are formed. one way to avoid this problem is to use a much higher concentration of methane in comparison to chloride. this reduces the chance of a chlorine radical running into a chloromethane and starting the mechanism over again to form a di-chloromethane. through this method of controlling product ratios one is able to have a relative amount of control over the chloromethane.
