Not what you're looking for?
The reaction of CO and Cl2 consists of a series of steps as outlined below: Write an expression for d[COCl]/dt and write the overall reaction.
Step rate constant
Cl2 + M -> 2 Cl + M k1
2 Cl + M -> Cl2 + M k-1
Cl + CO + M -> COCl + M k2
COCl + M -> Cl + CO + M k-2
COCl + Cl2 -> COCl2 + Cl k3
COCl2 + Cl -> COCl + Cl2 k-3
*M is usually taken to be an inert gas. See the Lindemann-Hinshelwood mechanism for details.
