Question
The following is a proposed mechanism for the gas phase decomposition of nitryl chloride.

**Step 1**  
*fast:*  
\( \text{NO}_2\text{Cl} \rightleftharpoons \text{NO}_2 + \text{Cl} \)

**Step 2**  
*slow:*  
\( \text{NO}_2\text{Cl} + \text{Cl} \rightarrow \text{NO}_2 + \text{Cl}_2 \)

---

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

\[ 
\boxed{} \quad + \quad \boxed{} \quad \longrightarrow \quad \boxed{} \quad + \quad \boxed{} 
\]

**(2)** Enter the formula of any species that acts as a reaction intermediate. If none, leave the box blank:

\[ 
\boxed{} 
\]

**(3)** Complete the rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with this mechanism.  
Use the form \( k[A]^m[B]^n \ldots \), where '1' is understood (*so don't write it if it's a '1'*) for \( m, n \), etc.

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