Cl Cl2 CHCl3 CCl3 CCl4 Tries 0/99

The rate law predicted by the given mechanism is ACI

Explanation:

In a mechanism of the reaction, the slow step in the mechanism determines the rate of the reaction.

The intermediate reaction of the mechanism follows:

Step 1:  

Step 2:  

Step 3:  

Overall reaction:  

As, step 2 is the slow step. It is the rate determining step

Rate law for the reaction follows:

     ......(1)

As, [Cl] is not appearing as a reactant in the overall reaction. So, we apply steady state approximation in it.

Applying steady state approximation for [Cl] from step 1 and step 3, we get:

Putting the value of [Cl] in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the rate law predicted by the given mechanism is ACI

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.

qualitative observation deals with data that can be observed with our senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. they do not involve measurements or numbers. for instance, colors, shapes, and textures of objects are all qualitative observations.
