    Q:

    		 2 CH4 + 3 Cl2 → 2 CH3Cl + 2 HCl + 2 Cl-

    The reaction above proceeds through the following two steps:

    1. 2 CH4 + Cl2 → 2 CH3+ + 2 HCl
    2. CH3+ + Cl2 → CH3Cl + Cl-

    If the first of the two steps is the slow step, the rate equation of the overall reaction can be written as which of the following?
    		 

    A

    		 k[CH4]2[Cl2]3

    B

    		 k[CH4]2[Cl2]

    C

    		 k[CH3+][Cl2]

    D

    		 k[CH3+][CH4]2
