Question

Consider the overall reaction: Cl_2 (aq)+H_2S (aq)--> S (s) +2HCl (aq). A proposed mechanism is 

Cl_2-->Cl^++Cl^-  (slow)

Cl^-+H_2S-->HCl+HS^-  (fast)

Cl^++HS^- -->HCl+S   (fast)

If this is the correct mechanism, which is the predicted rate expansion?

i.) rate = k[Cl^+][Cl^-]

ii.) rate = k[Cl_2][H_2S]

iii.) rate = k[S][HCl]^2

iv.) rate = k[Cl_2]
