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

  • A
    Both $A$ and $B$
  • B
    $A$ only
  • C
