Is CBr4 more volatile than CCl4?

ch4 is the most volatile


Is CCl4 a Formula Unit?

CCl4 is also known as carbon tetrachloride. CCl4 is not a unit, but a molecular formula naming its constituent elements and their atomic quantities.


What is the symbol for tetrachloride?

Tetrachorides contain " Cl4" in their chemical formulae, for example CCl4 carbon tetrachloride.


What is a substance that does not dissolve?

insoluble precipitate, precipitant ----------------------------------------------------------- It is really dependent on the solvent. Table Salt (NaCl) will dissolve in water, but does not readily dissolve in many oils. Gold is relatively inert, but will dissolve in a mixture of Nitric Acid and Hydrochloric Acid. Glass is relatively inert, but can be etched by hydrofluoric acid Teflon is a type of plastic that is inert under many conditions. A pure diamond is essentially a single molecule, and is relatively inert, but would potentially react in some situations.


What has a higher boiling point CH3CH3 or CH3Cl?

CH3Cl because it is polar meaning it has both a dipole-dipole bond and dispersion bond, where as CCl4 is non polar and only has a dispersion bond. Since CH3Cl is bonded together stronger, it will be harder to break up and therefore a greater temperature will be required to boil it Edited (9/20/10) CCl4 has a bp 76.7 C, CH3Cl has a bp -24.2 C, see wikipedia or MSDS info. That means the first answer is wrong. Boiling points are based on intermolecular forces. Stronger the forces, lower the vapor pressure, higher the bp. The reason CCl4 has a higher boiling point is because dispersion forces increase with increasing molecular weight and # of electrons. Therefore the greater number of electrons in CCl4 create a stronger dispersion force than the combined dipole+dispersion forces in the CH3Cl.

What mass of CCl4 is formed by the reaction of 5.14 g of methaneCH4?

The balanced equation for the reaction is: CH4 + 4Cl2 -> CCl4 + 4HCl. 1 mole of CH4 produces 1 mole of CCl4. Calculate moles of CH4: 5.14 g / 16.04 g/mol = 0.32 mol. 0.32 mol of CH4 will produce 0.32 mol of CCl4, which is 0.32 * 153.82 g/mol = 49.18 g of CCl4.


What mass of CCl4 is formed by the reaction of 8.00 g of methane with an excess of chloride?

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: CH4 + 4Cl2 -> CCl4 + 4HCl. From the equation, it can be seen that 1 mole of CH4 produces 1 mole of CCl4. Therefore, 8.00 g of CH4 would produce 8.00 g of CCl4.


What are the similarities of ch4 and ccl4?

Both CH4 (methane) and CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) consist of one carbon atom bonded to four other atoms. They are both nonpolar molecules due to their symmetric tetrahedral shape and have similar bond angles. Both compounds are used extensively in industrial applications, although CCl4 has been phased out due to its harmful effects on the environment.


Is CBr4 more volatile than CCl4?

ch4 is the most volatile


Would ccl4 dissolve in h2o?

No it wont because it is non-polar and hence cannot break the hydrogen bonds in water and get dissolved


Can CCL4 dissolve ionic compounds?

CCl4 is a non polar solvent and therefore dissole ionic compounds


What is the balance chemical equation for production of carbon tetrachloride?

The reaction is: CH4 + 4Cl2---------------------CCl4 + 4HCl


Is CCL4 hydrocarbon and organic componud?

Yes!!! Because it contains CARBOB . All organic chemistry is based on carbon compounds. CCl4 is 'Tetrachloromethan' ( archaically 'Crbon tetrachloride). It is methane (CH4) with the four hydrogens substituted with chlorine.


Is CCL4 hydrocarbon?

Yes. CCl4 is the derivative of the hydrocarbon, CH4.


Does CH4 dissolve in H2O?

Yes, methane (CH4) can dissolve in water (H2O) to some extent. However, methane's solubility in water is relatively low compared to other gases like carbon dioxide or oxygen.


How do you balance CH4 Cl2 to CCl4 HCl?

To balance the chemical equation CH4 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl, you need to ensure that the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation. Start by counting the number of each type of atom on each side: 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen, and 2 chlorine on the left, and 1 carbon, 1 hydrogen, and 1 chlorine on the right. To balance the equation, you can adjust the coefficients in front of each compound. The balanced equation is CH4 + 4Cl2 → CCl4 + 4HCl.


Is CCl4 to CH4 possible according to Dalton's theory?

According to Dalton's theory, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms and do not create or destroy atoms. Therefore, the transformation of CCl4 to CH4 would not be possible as it involves the addition of hydrogen atoms and the removal of chlorine atoms, which violates the law of conservation of atoms.
