The overall reaction for the halogenation of a hydrocarbon (RH) using Br as the halogen is RH

Question:

The overall reaction for the halogenation of a hydrocarbon (RH) using Br as the halogen is RH + Br2Ž¯Ž¯†’RBr + HBr. The following mechanism has been proposed for this process:

Br2 2Br. Br• + RH- →R•+ HBr R•+ Brz -4 »RBr + Br• k. RBr Br• + R.-

Determine the rate law predicted by this mechanism.
