For the overall gas-phase reaction of the formation of phosgene (Cl₂CO) from carbon monoxide and chlorine, the following mechanism has been proposed: Cl₂ + M2CI+M CI+CO+MCICO+M CICO + Cl₂C₁₂CO+CI Derive the expected rate law assuming [M] is large and constant, and using: (a) The equilibrium assumption for the first two steps. (b) Instead using the steady state assumption for any intermediates. (c) Why does the reaction become zeroth order in [CO] in the steady state case?
