• A. 153.81 g
• B. 30.76 g
• C. 769.05 g
• D. 307.62 g

Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given information: the molar mass of CCl\_4 is 153.81 g/mol, and the amount of substance is 5.000 mol.
2. Recall the relationship between mass, moles, and molar mass, which is given by the formula: \(\\text{mass} = \\text{moles} \\times \\text{molar mass}\).
3. Substitute the known values into the formula: \(\\text{mass} = 5.000 \\text{mol} \\times 153.81 \\text{g/mol}\).
4. Perform the multiplication to find the mass in grams (do not calculate the final number here, just set up the expression).
5. Interpret the result as the mass of CCl\_4 required to obtain 5.000 mol.
