Show that the initial rate law predicted by the reaction mechanism 6-12a-c, with the first step rate-limiting, is rate = 2k,[Cl,]. Assume that the Cl - produced in step (3) can be neglected initially.

Please show steps and please try to be clear. My goal is to learn form your solution. I need to understand it please
