1. The gas-phase reaction of chlorine with
chloroform is described by the equation: mechanism is consistent with the
experimentally determined rate law.
Cl2(g) + CHCl3(g)  HCl(g) + CCl4(g)

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)

The rate law determined from experiment has a


noninteger order:
rate=k[Cl2]1/2[CHCl3]

A proposed mechanism for this reaction follows:


Is this an acceptable mechanism for this reaction?

2. The compound NO2Cl is thought to


decompose to NO2 and Cl2 by the following
mechanism:

Is this an acceptable mechanism for this reaction?

5. The compound NO2Cl is thought to decompose to


Derive the rate law for the production of Cl2 NO2 and Cl2 by the following mechanism:
using the steady-state approximation.
