Question

The chlorination of methane occurs in a number of steps that results in the formation of chloromethane and hydrogen chloride. The overall reaction is

2CH4(g)+3Cl2(g)⟶2CH3Cl(g)+2HCl(g)+2Cl−(g)
 
Suppose that a chemist combines  331 mL
  of methane and  633 mL
  of chlorine at STP in a  2.00 L
  flask. The flask is then allowed to stand at  298 K.
  If the reaction reaches  89.9%
  completion, what is the total pressure in the flask?

?total=
 
What is the partial pressure of  CH4?
 
?CH4=
 
What is the partial pressure of  Cl2?
 
?Cl2=

What is the partial pressure of  CH3Cl?
 
?CH3Cl=
 
What is the partial pressure of  HCl?
 
?HCl=
 
What is the partial pressure of  Cl−?
 
?Cl−=
