Question
### Gas Phase Reaction of Fluorine with Chlorine Dioxide

**Mechanism:**
- **Step 1 (slow):** \( \text{F}_2 + \text{ClO}_2 \rightarrow \text{FClO}_2 + \text{F} \)
- **Step 2 (fast):** \( \text{F} + \text{ClO}_2 \rightarrow \text{FClO}_2 \)

**Questions:**

1. **Overall Reaction Equation:**
   - Use the smallest integer coefficients to represent the overall reaction.
   - Boxes are provided to fill in reactants and products:
     - \(\square\) + \(\square\) \(\rightarrow\) \(\square\) + \(\square\)

2. **Catalyst:**
   - Identify and provide the formula of any species acting as a catalyst.
   - If none, leave the box blank.
   - Box provided: \(\square\)

3. **Reaction Intermediate:**
   - Identify and provide the formula of any species acting as an intermediate.
   - If none, leave the box blank.
   - Box provided: \(\square\)

4. **Rate Law:**
   - Complete the rate law for the overall reaction using the observed rate law.
   - Use the form \( k[\text{A}]^m[\text{B}]^n \ldots \) where \( m, n \) etc. are understood.

   - **Rate =** \(\boxed{\text{ }}\)

Ensure to fill in the boxes with appropriate chemical formulas and calculations based on the reaction mechanisms provided.
