Question

For the reaction  2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) → 2 NOCl(g), there are two proposed mechanisms:
 

(I)     2 NO → N2O2 (fast)                           

        N2O2 + Cl2 → 2 NOCl  (slow)    

 

(II)   NO+ Cl2 → NOCl2  (fast)                       

       NOCl2+ NO → 2 NOCl  (slow)
 
 The overall reaction is second-order in NO and first-order in Cl2.  Which mechanism(s) rationalize the experimental rate law?

mechnaism 1 onl 2
mechanism 2 only 
both mechanism 1 and 2 
neither
