Consider the following reaction mechanism for the production of carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 : Step 1 (slow). Step 2 (fast). Cl(g)+CHCl3(g)HCl(g)+CCl3(g) Step3 (fast). Cl(g)+CCl3(g)CCl4(g) Net Reaction. Cl2(g)+CHCl3(g)CCl4(g)+HCl(g) (Ch. 14) Which of the following statements about the reaction mechanism is false? Monatomic chlorine, Cl(g), and carbon trichloride, CCl3(g) Iare intermediates in the reaction mechanism. Increasing the concentration of chlorine, Cl2(g), will increase the reaction rate. The rate law for the net reaction is: rate =k[Cl2][CHCl3] There is no catalyst in this mechanism
