Question

The following mechanism has been proposed for the gas-phase reaction of chloroform (CHCl₃) and chlorine.

Cl₂ ⇌ 2Cl (fast, reversible)
Cl + CHCl₃ → HCl + CCl₃ (slow)
Cl + CCl₃ → CCl₄ (fast)

What rate law does this mechanism predict? (Choose from the list below and enter your answers in alphabetical order, e.g. ABC ).

A)k	G) [Cl2]1/2	M) [CHCl3]2
B) [CCl3]	H) [Cl]1/2	N) [CCl3]2
C) [HCl]	I) [CHCl3]1/2	O) [HCl]2
D) [Cl2]	J) [CCl3]1/2	P) [Cl2]2
E) [Cl]	K) [HCl]1/2
F) [CHCl3]	L) [Cl]2

The answer is NOT: AEF or AHE or ACH or ADG or AGF or ADF or AHF or AJF or ALF or AFH or EF or DF
