Explanation / Answer

Given reactions are

Br2(g) ---> 2 Br(g) ----(1)

Br(g) + OCl2(g) ---> BrOCl(g) + Cl(g) ----(2)

Br(g) + Cl(g) ---> BrCl(g) -----(3)

Overall reaction is obtained by adding the above three equations

Then we gat as follows :

(1)+ (2) + (3) gives

Br2(g)+Br(g) + OCl2(g)+Br(g) + Cl(g) ---> BrCl(g) +BrOCl(g) + Cl(g) + 2 Br(g)

Cancel the common one we get

Br2(g)+ OCl2(g)---> BrCl(g) +BrOCl(g)

This was the overall reaction

Yes there are intermediates in the mechanism

The intermediates are Cl(g) & Br(g)
