Solution
When carbon disulphide is treated with chlorine (Cl2) in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride (AlCl3) as a catalyst, a reaction occurs that forms carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and disulfur dichloride (S2Cl2).
\[\ce{\underset{\text{disulphide}}{\underset{Carbon}{CS2}} + 3Cl2 ->[AlCl3][]\underset{\text{tetrachloride}}{\underset{Carbon}{CCl4}}+ \underset{\text{monochloride}}{\underset{Sulphur}{S2Cl2}}}\]
