The reaction of formation of phosgene from $CO$ and $Cl_2$ is $CO + Cl_2 \to COCl_2.$ The proposed mechanism is

$(i)$  $C{l_2}\,\underset{{{k_2}}}{\overset{{{k_1}}}{\longleftrightarrow}}\,2Cl$

$(ii)$  $Cl + CO\,\underset{{{k_4}}}{\overset{{{k_3}}}{\longleftrightarrow}}\,COCl$

$(iii)$  $COCl\, + \,C{l_2}\,\,\xrightarrow{{{k_5}}}\,COC{l_2}\, + \,Cl$ (slow)

Find the correct expression of rate law

  • A

    $r = \,{k_5}\, \times \,\frac{{{k_3}}}{{{k_4}}}\, \times \,{\left( {\frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}}} \right)^{1/2}}[CO]{[C{l_2}]^{3/2}}$

  • B

    $r = \,{k_5}\, \times \,\frac{{{k_3}}}{{{k_4}}}\, \times \,{\left( {\frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}}} \right)^{1/2}}[CO]{[C{l_2}]^{1/2}}$

  • C

    $r = \,{k_5}\, \times \,{\left( {\frac{{{k_3}}}{{{k_4}}}} \right)^{1/2}}\, \times \,\,\frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}}\,[CO]{[C{l_2}]^{3/2}}$

  • D

    None of these
