Can you please answer these sub questions 12.77 and 12.78 and show all of the steps to the solution 

**12.77** The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of nitric oxide and chlorine:

- **Step 1.** \( \text{NO} (g) + \text{Cl}_2 (g) \rightarrow \text{NOCl}_2 (g) \)
- **Step 2.** \( \text{NOCl}_2 (g) + \text{NO} (g) \rightarrow 2 \text{NOCl} (g) \)

(a) What is the overall reaction?

(b) Identify any reaction intermediates.

(c) What is the molecularity of each elementary step?

**12.78** Give the molecularity and the rate law for each of the following elementary reactions:

(a) \( \text{O}_3 (g) + \text{Cl} (g) \rightarrow \text{O}_2 (g) + \text{ClO} (g) \)

(b) \( \text{NO}_2 (g) \rightarrow \text{NO} (g) + \text{O} (g) \)

(c) \( \text{ClO} (g) + \text{O} (g) \rightarrow \text{Cl} (g) + \text{O}_2 (g) \)

(d) \( \text{Cl}_2 (g) + \text{Cl} (g) + \text{N}_2 (g) \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2 (g) + \text{N}_2 (g) \)

**12.79** Identify the molecularity and write the rate law for each of the following elementary reactions:

(a) \( \text{I}_2 (g) \rightarrow 2 \text{I} (g) \)

(b) \( 2 \text{NOBr} (g) + \text{Br}_2 (g) \rightarrow 2 \text{NOBr} (g) \)

(c) \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_5 (g) \rightarrow \text{NO}_2 (g) + \text{NO}_3 (g) \)

**12.80** The thermal decomposition of nitryl chloride, \( \text{NO}_2\text{Cl} \), is believed to occur by the following mechanism:
