can any one help me by telling me the exact terms & conditions for following reaction to proceed:
CS2 + 3Cl2 → CCl4 + S2Cl2

I would guess whatever makes the Cl2 break into Cl. radicals.

Seems to me CS2 is pretty sensitive already, if I were to guess I'd say it's spontaneous.

But I'm not doing homework for you, you have a textbook and four trillion web pages available to you.

When chlorine is passed into boiling CS2 containing a little iodine, carbon tetrachloride is formed.

CS2 + 3Cl2 => CCl4 (b pt 77) + S2Cl2 (b pt 138)
