Consider the following reaction mechanism for the production of carbon tetrachloride, $${\mathrm{CCl}}_4$$ : Step 1 (slow). Step 2 (fast). $$\mathrm{Cl}(g)+{\mathrm{CHCl}}_3(g)?\mathrm{HCl}(g)+{\mathrm{CCl}}_3(g)$$ $$\mathrm{Step}3$$ (fast). $$Cl(g)+C_C{l}_3(g)?CC{l}_4(g)$$ Net Reaction. $${\mathrm{Cl}}_2(g)+{\mathrm{CHCl}}_3(g)?{\mathrm{CCl}}_4(g)+\mathrm{HCl}(g)$$ (Ch. 14) Which of the following statements about the reaction mechanism is false? Monatomic chlorine, $$\mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{g})$$, and carbon trichloride, $${\mathrm{CCl}}_3(\mathrm{g})$$ Iare intermediates in the reaction mechanism. Increasing the concentration of chlorine, $${\mathrm{Cl}}_2(g)$$, will increase the reaction rate. The rate law for the net reaction is: rate $$=k\left[{\mathrm{Cl}}_2\right]\left[{\mathrm{CHCl}}_3\right]$$ There is no catalyst in this mechanism.
