Hello, Brainly User!
As the planet gets warmer, sea level rises for two reasons. First, warmer temperatures cause ice on land like glaciers and ice sheets to melt, and the melt water flows into the ocean to increase sea level. Second, warm water expands and takes up more space than colder water, increasing the volume of water in the sea.
Hope this helps, i was super glad and exited to help you out with this question! Have a great day..

Answer:
b. Second order in NO and first order in O₂.
Explanation:
A. The mechanism
![\rm 2NO\xrightarrow[k_{-1}]{k_{1}}N_{2}O_{2} \, (fast)\\\rm N_{2}O_{2} + O_{2}\xrightarrow{k_{2}} 2NO_{2} \, (slow)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%202NO%5Cxrightarrow%5Bk_%7B-1%7D%5D%7Bk_%7B1%7D%7DN_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%20%5C%2C%20%28fast%29%5C%5C%5Crm%20N_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%20%2B%20O_%7B2%7D%5Cxrightarrow%7Bk_%7B2%7D%7D%202NO_%7B2%7D%20%5C%2C%20%28slow%29)
B. The rate expressions
![-\dfrac{\text{d[NO]} }{\text{d}t} = k_{1}[\text{NO]}^{2} - k_{-1} [\text{N}_{2}\text{O}_{2}]^{2}\\\\\rm -\dfrac{\text{d[N$_{2}$O$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t} = -\dfrac{\text{d[O$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t} = k_{2}[ N_{2}O_{2}][O_{2}] - k_{1} [NO]^{2}\\\\\dfrac{\text{d[NO$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t}= k_{2}[ N_{2}O_{2}][O_{2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BNO%5D%7D%20%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%20%3D%20k_%7B1%7D%5B%5Ctext%7BNO%5D%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20-%20k_%7B-1%7D%20%5B%5Ctext%7BN%7D_%7B2%7D%5Ctext%7BO%7D_%7B2%7D%5D%5E%7B2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Crm%20-%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BN%24_%7B2%7D%24O%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%20%3D%20-%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BO%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%20%3D%20k_%7B2%7D%5B%20N_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%5D%5BO_%7B2%7D%5D%20-%20k_%7B1%7D%20%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BNO%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%3D%20k_%7B2%7D%5B%20N_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%5D%5BO_%7B2%7D%5D)
The last expression is the rate law for the slow step. However, it contains the intermediate N₂O₂, so it can't be the final answer.
C. Assume the first step is an equilibrium
If the first step is an equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. The equilibrium is only slightly perturbed by the slow leaking away of N₂O₂ to form product.
![\rm k_{1}[NO]^{2} = k_{-1} [N_{2}O_{2}]\\\\\rm [N_{2}O_{2}] = \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%20k_%7B1%7D%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%20k_%7B-1%7D%20%5BN_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Crm%20%5BN_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%5D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7Bk_%7B1%7D%7D%7Bk_%7B-1%7D%7D%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D)
D. Substitute this concentration into the rate law
![\rm \dfrac{\text{d[NO$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t}= \dfrac{k_{2}k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2} [O_{2}] = k[NO]^{2} [O_{2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BNO%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7Bk_%7B2%7Dk_%7B1%7D%7D%7Bk_%7B-1%7D%7D%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%5BO_%7B2%7D%5D%20%3D%20k%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%5BO_%7B2%7D%5D)
The reaction is second order in NO and first order in O₂.
