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 maybe be morethan one correct statement. 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 overall reaction 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)
