Consider the following reaction 2 N O 2 ( g ) + F 2 ( g ) 2 N O 2 F ( g )

Consider the following reaction
2NO2(g)+F2(g)2NO2F(g)
Someone suggests that its mechanism involves the following two elementary steps:
(1)NO2(g)+F2(g)k-1k1NO2F(g)+F(g)
(2)NO2(g)+F(g)k2NO2F(g)
(a) State which species is the intermediate in the mechanism.
(b) Use the steady-state approximation to write down the time derivative of the concentration of the intermediate (d?dt) that you have identified in part (a).
(c) Express the concentration of the intermediate without any derivatives.
(d) Find the time derivative of i.e.,(:d[NO2(F)((g))]dt} without F(g) in the answer.
(e)(Bonus 2 points. Possible to get 102% in this assignment) Try to simplify your answer if k2k1. What is the overall order of the reaction?
