Chemical Reaction

Post by palguy »

What would be the expected result of this reaction.

CO + Cl2 + CH4 + H2

Is this reaction a probable one, and if not what would be?

(3)CO + (8)Cl2 + CH4 + H2 = (2)COCl2 + (2)CCl4 + (4)HCl + H2O

CO + Cl2 + CH4 + H2 will give you 3 concurent reactions:
1) CO + Cl2 = COCl2
2) CH4 + 4Cl2 = CCl4 + 4HCl
3) H2+Cl2 = 2HCl
