Carbon tetrachloride can be produced by the following reaction: CS₂(g) + 3 Cl₂(g) → S₂Cl₂(g) + CCl4(9) In an experiment, 0.120 mol of CS₂ and 0.360 mol of Cl₂ were placed in a 1.00-L flask at a particular temperature. After equilibrium has been achieved, the mixture contains 0.050 mol CCl4. Calculate the value of K under the experimental conditions. =

Question
**Carbon Tetrachloride Production Reaction**

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) can be produced by the following chemical reaction:

\[ \text{CS}_2(g) + 3 \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{S}_2\text{Cl}_2(g) + \text{CCl}_4(g) \]

**Experimental Details:**

In an experiment, 0.120 moles of carbon disulfide (CS₂) and 0.360 moles of chlorine gas (Cl₂) were placed in a 1.00-liter flask at a certain temperature. After reaching equilibrium, the mixture was found to contain 0.050 moles of carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄).

**Objective:**

Calculate the equilibrium constant (K) for the reaction under the provided experimental conditions.

\[ \text{K} = \]

(Note: The space is provided for you to calculate the equilibrium constant based on the concentrations at equilibrium.)
