### Reaction Yield and HCl Production

In a chemical process where each step has a yield of 60.0%, consider the following reactions:

1. \( \text{CH}_4 + 4 \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow \text{CCl}_4 + 4 \text{HCl} \)
2. \( \text{CCl}_4 + 2 \text{HF} \rightarrow \text{CCl}_2\text{F}_2 + 2 \text{HCl} \)

The \(\text{CCl}_4\) produced in the first reaction is used as a reactant in the second reaction.

The problem is to determine the total amount of HCl produced when 5.00 moles of \(\text{CH}_4\) react, assuming \(\text{Cl}_2\) and \(\text{HF}\) are present in excess.

#### Given Information:
- Yield for each step is 60.0%.
- Initial moles of \(\text{CH}_4\): 5.00 moles.

#### Incorrect Attempt:
- Answer submitted: 30 moles HCl.

Note: The calculation of the correct amount of HCl produced involves considering the yield percentage and the stoichiometry of the reactions.
