Question
Chlorine reacts with hydrogen sulfide in aqueous solution
Cl2 (aq) + H2S(aq)→ S(s) + 2 H* (aq) + 2 Cl¯(aq)
in a second-order reaction that follows the rate expression
rate = k[Cl, ][H2S]
%3D
Which, if any, of the following mechanisms are consistent
with the observed rate expression?
(a) Cl2 + H2S →H* + Cl¯ + CI* + HS¯
CI* + HS¯ → H* + Cl¯ + S
(b) H2S HS + H*
HS + Cl2 → 2 CI¯ + S + H*
(c) H2S HS¯ + H*
H* + C122H* + Cl¯ + Cl*
CI* + HS¯ →H* + Cl¯ + S
