General Chemistry 2: Rates of Reaction

For the proposed mechanism below, identify the intermediates and determine the rate law.
$$2~NO_2~+~F_2~\leftrightharpoons~2~NO_2F~~{overall}$$
$$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NO_2F_2+~Br_2~\longrightarrow~NO_2F~+~F~~{slow step}$$ $$NO_2~+~F~\longrightarrow~NO_2F$$
For the proposed mechanism below, find the overall reaction, identify the intermediates, then determine the rate law.
$$CL_2~\leftrightharpoons~2~Cl$$ $$2~Cl~+2~NO~\longrightarrow~2~NOCl$$
Find the rate law for the following reaction mechanism using the pseudo(quasi) steady state hypothesis
$$A + B~\longrightarrow~C$$ $$C~\longrightarrow~D$$
Derive the rate law for the following reaction mechanism
$$OCl^-~H_2O~\leftrightharpoons~HOCl + OH^-$$ $$I^- + HOCl~\longrightarrow~HOI + Cl^-~~{slow step}$$ $$HO + OH^-\longrightarrow~H_2O + OI^-$$
