The decomposition of nitryl chloride is described by the following chemical equation: 2NO2C1(g) → 2NO2 (g)-C12 (g) Suppose a two-step mechanism is proposed for this reaction, beginning with this elementary reaction NO, Cl(g)→NO2(g)+Cl(g) Suppose also that the second step of the mechanism should be bimolecular. Suggest a reasonable second step. That is, write the balanced chemical equation of a bimolecular elementary reaction that would complete the proposed mechanism.

Second reaction

NO2 + F > NO2F

Rate of reaction:

k1 [NO2] [F2]

Explanation:

NO2 + F2 > NO2F + F slow step1

NO2 + F > NO2F fast. Step 2

Since the first step is the slowest step, it is the rate determining step of the reaction

Hence:

rate = k1 [NO2] [F2]

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
