So we have on the left 4 Cl and 1 C. We don't need to change the C on the right, but we need 4x as many Cl, so add a 4 in front of that. The balanced equation will be CCl4 --> C+ 4Cl.

Hope this helps:)

Answer: The balanced reaction is CCl4 → C + 4Cl

A balanced chemical equation is the one, which contains equal number of atoms corresponding to each element participating in the reaction and having same charge for the reactants and the products.

In the given reaction CCl4 → C + Cl, the number of chloride atoms are imbalanced on both sides as it is four on the reactant side while it is one on the product side.

Thus, the balanced reaction for this is-

CCl4 → C + 4Cl
