Question

9)  The following three-step mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of chlorine and chloroform. 

                                                                                  rate constants

1)   Cl2(g) ↔   2 Cl(g)                   Keq1 =2.5         k1 = 5.5 x 103  sec-1     

2)   Cl(g) +   CHCl3(g)   →   HCl(g)   +   CCl3(g)   k2 = 2.4 x 10−2 M-1sec-1

3)   CCl3(g) +   Cl(g)   →   CCl4(g)                         k3 = 3.6 x 102 M-1sec-1

 

a)  Write the equation for the overall reaction. __a__

 

b)  Write the rate law for the overall reaction. __b__

 

c)  Calculate the rate constant for the overall reaction (include units) __c__
