The rate law determined from experiment has a QUIZ 2 CHE 171 (Reaction Mechanism)
noninteger order:
rate=k[Cl2]1/2[CHCl3] 4. The gas-phase reaction of chlorine with
chloroform is described by the equation:
A proposed mechanism for this reaction follows: Cl2(g) + CHCl3(g) HCl(g) + CCl4(g)
Br + H2 k 2 HBr+H d [ HBr] 1/ 2
→ H2 + Br2 2HBr =k [H 2 ][Br 2 ]
dt
H + Br2 k 3 HBr + Br
→ The following mechanism has been proposed:
H + HBr k 4 H2 + Br Br2 2Br (k1 is forward and k5 is reverse
→ rate constant)
Br + H2 k 2 HBr+H
→
H + Br2 k 3 HBr + Br
→
H + HBr k 4 H2 + Br
→
