(ii) The reaction of Cl, with CH4 proceeds by a radical chain reaction to produce CHCI and HCI. (a) Propose a mechanism for this reaction which involves an initiation step, two chain propagating steps and a termination step. In your answer, clearly identify each step in the mechanism. [4 marks) (b) Assume that the radical species are in a steady state and derive an expression for the overall rate of reaction which is dependent only on the concentration of the reactants, [7 marks]
