q1 = 8 moles
q2 = .5 moles

Remember that Cl is diatomic in nature, and thus is usually Cl2. Thus only 4 moles of Cl2 is needed to react with 2 moles of C, while 1 mole of C would be needed to react with 2 moles of Cl2.

#1
two moles of carbon will react with two moles of Chlorine gas, Cl2 molecules or four moles of Cl atoms to form 2 moles of carbon tetrachloride.
#2
if it is Cl2 gas its is the same as Q # 1 , but the question statea Cl, that would mean Cl atoms, in that case you would use 0.5 moles of carbon.
the ratio is: 1 mole C / 4 mole Cl atoms
or
1 mole Carbon / 2 moles of Cl2 gas
