Answer Details
The reaction between methane and chlorine in the presence of ultraviolet light leads to a series of substitution reactions. The reaction can be represented by the equation: CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl CHCl3 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl Therefore, the final product of the reaction is tetrachloromethane (CCl4) and hydrogen chloride (HCl). So, the correct option is "tetrachloromethane".
