The following equation shows the process of industrial manufacturing of tetrachloromethane (CCl4) from methane (CH4):
CH4(g) + 4 Cl2(g) → CCl4(l) + 4 HCl(g)
Identify the reaction as spontaneous or nonspontaneous under standard conditions. How does the reaction spontaneity change if the reaction is carried out in the presence of NaOH? Is it possible to produce CCl4 from carbon and chlorine under standard conditions?
