Brown haze produced in photochemical smog is due to: (A) NO (B) NO2 (C)  textCH3 text- underset overset||. textO textC textOO-NO2 (D) CH2=CH-CH=O

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Photochemical smog is initiated by the photochemical dissociation of

N O_{2}

and the resulting secondary reactions involving unsaturated hydrocarbons, other organic compounds and free radicals, leading to the formation of organic peroxides and ozone.
Solution

Hydrocarbons

+ O_{3}, O_{2}, O, N O_{2}, NO

; peroxides, peroxyacetyl nitrate, formaldehyde, ozone aldehyde, acrolein, etc. oxidised hydrocarbons and ozone in the presence of humidity cause photochemical smog, which dissipates at night.

Q. Brown haze produced in photochemical smog is due to:

$NO$

$N O_{2}$

$CH_{3} - O ∣ ∣ C OO-NO_{2}$

$C H_{2} = C H - C H = O$

Q. Brown haze produced in photochemical smog is due to:

NO

NO2​

CH3​-O∣∣C​OO-NO2​

CH2​=CH−CH=O

$NO$

$N O_{2}$

$CH_{3} - O ∣ ∣ C OO-NO_{2}$

$C H_{2} = C H - C H = O$
