Apossible mechanism for the reaction of chlorine gas and chloroform to produce carbon tetrachloride and hydrogen chloride is given below. cl2(g) ↔ 2 cl(g) cl(g) + chcl3(g) → hcl(g) + ccl3(g) cl(g) + ccl3(g) → ccl4(g) what is/are the intermediate(s) in this mechanism

The intermediates in this reaction are Cl and CCl₃.

Explanation:

To indicate the intermediate in this reaction, we should firstly define the intermediate.The intermediate is the species that produced within the steps of the reaction and consumed in the later step/s and does not appear in the overall reaction (neither reactants nor products).The mechanism of the reaction contains 3 steps:Cl₂ ↔ 2ClCl + CHCl₃ → HCl + CCl₃Cl + CCl₃ → CCl₄The overall reaction is: Cl₂ + CHCl₃ → HCl + CCl₄So, the intermediates in this reaction are Cl and CCl₃.Thus, 2 moles of Cl is produced in the first step and consumed in the second and third steps.1 mole of CCl₃ is produced in the second step and consumed in the third step.

Answer) by studying proton collisions hope this : )
