The following mechanism has been proposed for the gas-phase reaction of chloroform (CHCl₃) and chlorine.

Cl₂ ⇌ 2Cl (fast, reversible)
Cl + CHCl₃ → HCl + CCl₃ (slow)
Cl + CCl₃ → CCl₄ (fast)

What rate law does this mechanism predict?

A)k	G) [CHCl₃]^1/2	M) [CCl₃]²
B) [Cl₂]	H) [CCl₃]^1/2	N) [HCl]²
C) [Cl]	I) [HCl]^1/2	O) [Cl₂]²
D) [CHCl₃]	J) [Cl₂]^1/2	P) [Cl]²
E) [CCl₃]	K) [Cl]^1/2
F) [HCl]	L) [CHCl₃]²
