Give detailed Solution with explanation needed 

Nitryl chloride (NO2₂CI) decomposes to nitrogen dioxide
(NO₂) and chlorine gas (Cl₂) according to the following
mechanism (show work):
1. 2NO₂Cl(g) CIO2(g) +N₂O(g)+CIO(g)(fast, k₁ represents
the rate constant for the forward reaction and k-₁ the
rate constant for the reverse reaction)
2. N₂O(g)+CIO2(g) NO2(g)+NOCI(g)(fast, k₂ for the
forward reaction, k-2 for the reverse reaction)
3. NOCI+CIO NO2+Cl₂(slow, k3 the rate constant for
the forward reaction)
Determine the overall reaction, Identify any
intermediates, and determine the overall rate law
expression.
