Chapter 11, Problem 11.91PAE

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Reaction of VOC with the reactants present in the atmosphere should be identified.

Concept introduction:

VOC are volatile organic compound which vaporizes easily and are fatal environmental pollutant. Hexane is one of the VOC and is a hazardous pollutant.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Reaction of nitrogen dioxide produces ozone should be identified.

Concept introduction:

The ozone is produced by the reaction of nascent oxygen with the molecular oxygen present in the air. There are so many sources to produce nascent oxygen and after the reaction of this nascent oxygen with molecular oxygen, it result in formation of ozone as follows:

$\text{O }+{\text{ O}}_{\text{2}} \to {\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$
