The synthesis of ethylene dichloride is described by the following chemical equation: Suppose a two-step mechanism is proposed for this reaction, beginning with this elementary reaction: Suppose also that the second step of the mechanism should be bimolecular. Suggest a reasonable second step. That is, write the balanced chemical equation of a bimolecular elementary reaction that would complete the proposed mechanism.

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation of a bi molecular elementary reaction  that would complete the proposed mechanism is

                   [tex]CH2CH2Cl^+ (g) + Cl^- (g) ---> CH2CH2Cl2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason the reaction above is is the reasonable second step is that it both involves carbonation and Cl⁻  species abd hence it is bi molecular in nature.
