The thermal decomposition of nitryl chloride is proposed to occur by the following mechanism:

step 1 slow: NO2Cl ---> NO2 + Cl
step 2 fast: Cl + NO2Cl ---> NO2 + Cl2

What is the equation for the overall reaction?

Count the number of each type of atom in the equation below, and then balance the equation. write in the numbers of atoms and coefficients. add a 1 if there should be no coefficient. cs2(l) + o2(g) → co2(g) + so2(g) c [ ] s [ ] o > c [ ] s [ ] o [ ] cs2(l) + [ ] o2(g) > [ ] co2(g) + [ ] so2(g)
