Question

Cl2(g) 2Cl(g)
Cl(g) + CHCl3 HCl(g) +CCl3 (slow) CCl3 + Cl(g) CCl4(g) (fast) Which of the followingare true statements for the above mechanism ? There may be morethan one correct answer. a) The overall rate law is equal to the rate law of thesecond step
as it appears above b) k1[Cl2] = k-1[Cl]2 c) Cl(g) does not appear in the overallreaction d) If this is a correct mechanism the observed lawwould be
Rate = k[Cl2]1/2[CHCl3] Cl2(g) 2Cl(g)
Cl(g) + CHCl3 HCl(g) +CCl3 (slow) CCl3 + Cl(g) CCl4(g) (fast) Which of the followingare true statements for the above mechanism ? There may be morethan one correct answer. a) The overall rate law is equal to the rate law of thesecond step

Rate = k[Cl2]1/2[CHCl3]

Explanation / Answer

(b.) & (d.) are both definately incorrect. ~~~~ I am certain that (a.) is correct & i believe (c.) mayalso be correct, but am not certain as to that choice. ~~~~~~~~~~ Hope that helps!!!
