Given below are two Statements : Statement I : Classical smog occurs in cool humid climate. It is a reducing mixture of smoke, fog and sulphur dioxide. Statement II : Photochemical smog has components, ozone, nitric oxide, acrolein, formaldehyde, PAN etc. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct.
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
  3. CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
  4. DStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Correct answer

A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

Step-by-step solution

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 also called as reducing smog. 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 produced by automobiles and factories. Photochemical smog has high concentration of oxidising agents and is, therefore, called as oxidising smog. Ozone is a t
