Correct statement about smog is

Options

  1. ANO 2 is present in classical smog
  2. BBoth NO 2 and SO 2 are present in classical smog
  3. CPhotochemical smog has high concentration of oxidizing agents
  4. DClassical smog also has high concentration of oxidizing agents

Correct answer

C. Photochemical smog has high concentration of oxidizing agents

Step-by-step solution

A. Classical smog occurs in cool humid climate. It is a mixture of smoke, fog, and sulphur dioxide. Chemically it is a reducing mixture and so it is called reducing smog. So statement A is incorrect. B. Classical smog is a mixture of smoke, fog and SO 2 . NO 2 is not present in classical smog. So, statement B is incorrect. C. Photochemical smog occurs in warm, dry and sunny climate. The main components of the photochemical smog result from the action of sunlight on unsaturated hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides produ
