Which of the following is produced during the formation of photochemical smog ?

  • A.Ozone
  • B.Methane
  • C.Hydrocarbons
  • D.Nitrogen oxides

Answer: A

Ozone is produced in photochemical smog.

Sunlight splits nitrogen dioxide from vehicle exhaust, \[\mathrm{NO_2 + h\nu \rightarrow NO + O},\qquad \mathrm{O + O_2 \rightarrow O_3}\] and the ozone then reacts with unburnt hydrocarbons to give PAN and aldehydes. Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides are the ingredients rather than the products.
