Experiment shows that the rate formation of carbon tetrachloride from chloroform, CH3 +Cl2 → CCl4 + HCI is the first order in CHCl3, ½ order in Cl2 and 3/2 order overall. Is the following mechanism consistent with the overall rate low? Cl2 2 Cl (K1, K-1) fast Cl + CHCl 3 → HCI + CC13⚫ (k2) slow CCl3 + Cl⚫ CCl4 (K3) fast (Use the steady state principle for the radicals Cl• and CC13. to determine the differential rate equation of carbon tetrachloride formation d [CCl4] / dt).
