For the reaction $Cl_{2(aq)} + H_2S_{(aq)} \to S_{(s)} + 2H^+_{(aq)} + 2Cl^-_{(aq)}$, the rate law is given by $\text{Rate} = K[Cl_2][H_2S]$. Which of the following mechanisms is consistent with this rate law?
$(A)$ $Cl_2 + H_2S \to H^+ + Cl^- + Cl^+ + HS^-$ (slow); $Cl^+ + HS^- \to H^+ + Cl^- + S$ (fast)
$(B)$ $H_2S \rightleftharpoons H^+ + HS^-$ (fast equilibrium); $Cl_2 + HS^- \to 2Cl^- + H^+ + S$ (slow)

  • A
    Neither $A$ nor $B$
  • B
    Only $A$
  • C
    Only $B$
  • D
    Both $A$ and $B$
