Explanation:
Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.

Desert plants commonly have small wax coated leaves to prevent moisture and water from evaporating. It is an important feature in desert plants to adapt to the arid climate. The wax on the leaves also protect the leaves from the chilling temperature of the desert at night.
Answer:
Second reaction
NO2 + F -------> NO2F
Rate of reaction:
k1 [NO2] [F2]
Explanation:
NO2 + F2 -----> NO2F + F slow step1
NO2 + F -------> NO2F fast. Step 2
Since the first step is the slowest step, it is the rate determining step of the reaction
Hence:
rate = k1 [NO2] [F2]
