The correct set of species responsible for the photochemical smog...

The correct set of species responsible for the photochemical smog is:

Options

  1. ACO2,NO2,SO2C{O}_{2}, N{O}_{2}, S{O}_{2} and hydrocarbons
  2. BNO2,O2,O3N{O}_{2}, {O}_{2}, {O}_{3} and hydrocarbons
  3. CNO2,NO2N{O}_{2}, N{O}_{2} and hydrocarbons
  4. DNO,NO2,O3NO, N{O}_{2}, {O}_{3} and hydrocarbons

Correct answer

D. NO,NO2,O3NO, N{O}_{2}, {O}_{3} and hydrocarbons

Step-by-step solution

Smog is derived from smoke ++ fog, this is most common example of air pollution, photochemical smog occurs in warm, dry and sunny climate also known as oxidizing smog.
Unburnt hydrocarbons ++ Nitric oxide
NO2(g)→hνNO(g)+O(g)N{O}_{2}\left(g\right)\overset{hν}{\to}NO\left(g\right) + O\left(g\right)
O2(g)+O(g)→O3(g){O}_{2}\left(g\right) + O\left(g\right) \to {O}_{3}\left(g\right)
CH4+2O3→3CH2OFormaldehyde+3H2OC{H}_{4} + 2{O}_{3} \to \mathop{3C{H}_{2}O}_{\text{Formaldehyde}} + 3{H}_{2}O
So the common component of photochemical smog are Ozone, No, acrolein, PAN, formaldehyde.
