A possible reaction of ethane with chlorine is shown below. \( \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{3}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \) This reaction could conceivably occur by the following chain mechanisms [1], [2], and [3]. The chain initiating step(s) is (are) [1] \( \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \) [2] \( \mathrm{Cl}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \xrightarrow{\text { slow }} \mathrm{HCl} \) [3] \( \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2}^{*}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \xrightarrow{\text { fast }} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2}^{*} \) Only [1] Only [2] Only [3] Only [1] and [2]
