For the reversible reaction CO + Cl2 ⇌ COCl2, the mechanism is believed to be

Step 1: Cl2 + M ⇌ 2Cl + M

Step 2: Cl + CO + M ⇌ COCl + M

Step 3: COCl + Cl2 ⇌ COCl2 + Cl

(a) Identify the initiation, propagation, and termination steps. (b) Assume steps 1 and 2 each to be in equilibrium, and find the rate law for the forward reaction. (c) What is the rate law for the reverse reaction?
