Q.

Consider the reaction, 

Cl2(aq)+H2S(aq)S(s)+2H+(aq)+2Cl(aq)

The rate equation for this reaction is, 

Rate=k[Cl2][H2S]

Which of these mechanisms is/are consistent with this rate equation? 

(I) Cl2+H2SH++Cl+Cl++HS(slow)

Cl++HSH++Cl+S(fast)

(II) H2SH++HS(fast equilibrium)

Cl2+HS2Cl+H++S(slow)

Slowest step is the rate determining step. Thus, in case (I), rate law is given as rate =k[Cl2][H2S]

While for the reaction given in case (II), rate law is given as rate =k[H2S][Cl2][H+].

Hence, only mechanism (I) is consistent with the given rate law.
