1st, rewrite the equations so you can see the problem easier

reaction (1)    CH4 +Cl2--------->CH3CL + HCl

reaction (2)   CH3Cl + Cl2------> CH2Cl2 + HCl

the product ib reaction (1) is CH3Cl and is formed with a 90%  yield.

90% of the reactant methane iis converted to methyk chloride.

methane (CH4) has a molar mass of 12 + 4X1 =16

you start with 50.0 gm of CH4,

SO

50.0/16 =3.125 moles of CH4

90% of this become methyl choride...CH3Cl

SO

0.90  X 3.125 = 2.8 moles of CH3Cl are formed

NOTE 90% HAS ONLY 2 SIGNIFICANT FIGURES SO YOU ARE LIMITED TO 2 SIGNIFICANT  FIGURES IN YOUR CALCULATION!

in reaction(2) 1 mole of methyl chloride becomes methyl dichloromethane yi

with again a 90% yield

0.90 X 2.8 = 2.5 moles of CH2Cl2 are formed

so

2.5 moles of CH2Cl2 are formed.

CH2Cl2 has a molar mass of 12 + 2X1 + 2X35.5 =

12 + 2 + 71 =85

1 mole weighs  85 gm

2.5 moles weigh 2.5 X 85 = 212 gm
