Question

The reaction CHCl3(g) + Cl2(g) CCl4(g) + HCl(g) has been proposed to occur by the following mechanism.
Cl2 2Cl fast equilibrium
CHCl3+ Cl HCl + CCl3 slow step
CCl3+ Cl CCl4 fast
What is the rate law predicted by this mechanism?
A) Rate = kexp[CHCl3][Cl2]
B) Rate = k2[CHCl3][Cl]
C) Rate = k1[Cl2]
D) Rate = k3[CCl3][Cl]
E) Rate = k2(k1/k-1)1/2[CHCl3][Cl2]1/2
