No, this reaction does not occur. The two gases do not react.

Look up Free-radical halogenation. You use chlorine and UV light

As the post above shows, it works with chlorine, but not with HCl. I do not know any conditions under which HCl and CH4 can lead to formation of CCl4 and H2.

EDIT: I have another issue, and that is the use of symbols. The OP talks about CL instead of Cl. You must be precise in this. CL has no meaning and most people will recognize that as Cl, but what if you write CO instead of Co? Both exist and are totally different (carbon monoxide vs. cobalt metal).

I still am puzzled by the obsessive use of "CL" as a symbol for chlorine. If you look at the frequency of its use on this forum, you soon notice that the correct symbol is almost becoming endangered.




…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)
