A proposed mechanism for the gas-phase chlorination of methane is Cl2+CH4CH4Cl+ClCH4ClCH3+HClCH3+Cl2CH3Cl+ClCl+CH4CH3+HCl Suppose the first step is the RDS. What is the expected rate law in terms of the original reactants, Cl2 and CH4? How would you determine if this mechanism might be a potentially correct or, for that matter, a potentially incorrect one?
