Bromine is nonpolar and needs a nonpolar solvent to do the bromination reaction. CCl4 is a heavy, nonpolar solvent that dissolves the heavy Br2 molecule. With lighter nonpolar solvents such as hexane, the high density Bromine settles out.

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.

Why iodine dissolve readily in CCl4?

Iodine dissolves readily in CCl4 due to the presence of London dispersion forces between the iodine molecules and the non-polar CCl4 molecules. These weak intermolecular forces allow for iodine molecules to be dispersed throughout the CCl4 solvent.


What type of reaction is CCl4 C 2Cl2?
