Given the following proposed mechanism, predict the rate law for the overall reaction.
2NO2 + Cl2--->2NO2Cl
Mechanism:
NO2 + Cl2--->NO2Cl+Cl ....slow
NO2+Cl--->NO2Cl....fast
* I know that the slow reaction controls the rate, and are the ones that have to be used in the rate law expression but how?
The answer is [NO2][Cl2] but i don't know how
