### Reaction Mechanism for Fluorine and Chlorine Dioxide

A mechanism for the gas-phase reaction of fluorine with chlorine dioxide that is consistent with the observed rate law is:

- **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 and Instructions:**

1. **What is the equation for the overall reaction?** 
   Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. If a box is not needed, leave it blank.

   \[
   \boxed{\text{F}_2} + \boxed{2\text{ClO}_2} \rightarrow \boxed{2\text{FClO}_2} + \boxed{}
   \]

2. **What species is an intermediate?** 
   Enter the formula. If none, leave the box blank:

   \[
   \boxed{\text{F}}
   \]

3. **Complete the rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with this mechanism.**

   *(Use the form k[A]^m[B]^n ..., where "1" is understood (so don’t write it) for m, n, etc.)*

   \[
   \text{Rate} = \boxed{}
   \]

Expert Solution
Step 1

The given two steps of the reaction are:

Step 1: F2+ClO2FClO2+F slowStep 2: F+ClO2FClO2 fast

For a multi-step reaction, the slow step is the rate-determining step.
