Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is a chemical division that evaluates the quantitative content of the chemical process with the help of the reacting molecules or products taking part in the reaction. The term “stoicheion” in “Stoichiometry”, is an old Greek term for "element" whereas “metron” means "measure".

Question

The problem statement is as follows:

A sample of 1.527 moles of methane (CH₄) is mixed with 1.32 moles of chlorine. What is the theoretical yield, in moles, of CCl₄ that can be made from these amounts?
