CH4 + 4 Cl2 -----------------------> CCl4 + 4 HCl
16g 284g 154g
4g 15g
16 g CH4 needs --------------> 284 g Cl2
4 g CH4 needs --------------> x g Cl2
x = 4 x 284 / 16
x = 71 g
we need actually 71 g Cl2 . but we have only 15 g Cl2 . so it is limiting reagent
Cl2 is limiting reagent
product is based on limiting reagnet
284g g Cl2 will give------------------------> 154g CCl4
15 g Cl2 will give ----------------------> y g CCl4
y = 15 x 154 / 284
y = 8.13 g
maximum mass of CCl4 = theoretical yield = 8.13 g
