5. For the chlorination of ethane, represented by the equation: CH3CH3 + Cl2 + hv→ CH3CH2CI + HCI, the following radical-mediated mechanism has been proposed: Cl2 2 Cl· + CI - CH4 + Cl. → CH3· + HCI CH3: + Cl2 → CH3CI + Cl· k1, k.1 k2 k3 CH3* + Cl· 2CH3CI ka, k.4 Additionally, it has been possible to establish, under certain experimental conditions, that the reaction is first order with respect to the methane, and three halves with respect to chlorine. a) Classify the different steps of this mechanism (i.e. initiation, propagation, etc.). b) Derive the rate law for the chlorination of ethane, based on the mechanism proposed. c) Identify which is the rate-determining step. Justify your selection. d) Indicate which are the assumptions and approximations you used so that this model could work (i.e. pre- equilibrium condition, steady state approximation, neglecting the contribution of a step, etc.).

When 1 use rate 1 and 2 given thier respective clo2 intial concentrations, i get first order for clo2, but when i use rate 1 and rate 3 and thier respective clo2 intial concentrations, i get an order of 2 for clo2. so which order is correct for clo2 given this data? first order or second order?
