Which of the following is present in the photochemical smog?
Show Hint
- Acetyl nitrate
- Chlorofluorocarbons
- Methoxy acetyl nitrate
- Peroxy acetyl nitrate
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution that occurs in urban areas and is formed through a series of complex chemical reactions involving sunlight, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Key components of photochemical smog include:
Ozone (O3)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN)
Aldehydes
Among the given options, Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is a well-known component of photochemical smog.
Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is a secondary pollutant formed from the reaction of hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and sunlight. It is a potent eye irritant and respiratory toxin.
Therefore, the correct answer is Peroxyacetyl nitrate.
Final Answer:
Peroxyacetyl nitrate.
