The reaction of formation of phosgene from CO and Cl2\text{Cl}_2 is CO+Cl2COCl2\text{CO} + \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow \text{COCl}_2. The proposed mechanism is:

(i) Cl22Cl\text{Cl}_2 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{Cl} (fast)

(ii) Cl+COCOCl\text{Cl} + \text{CO} \rightleftharpoons \text{COCl} (fast)

(iii) COCl+Cl2k5COCl2+Cl\text{COCl} + \text{Cl}_2 \xrightarrow{k_5} \text{COCl}_2 + \text{Cl} (slow)
