Chapter 5, Problem 5.3PAE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the decrease in NO concentration at noon should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

  • The chemical reactions that lead to the formation of smog are:
  •   1.NO2+hγ(Sunlight)NO+O2.O+O2O33.O3+NONO2+O24.NO2+R(VOCs)PAN5.NO+ROXNO2+OtherProducts

  • Nitrogen dioxide breaks down in presence of sunlight to give Oxygen radical which further reacts with atmospheric oxygen to produce Ozone in the low atmospheric level. Ozone consumed by NO to produce NO2 which further reacts with hydrocarbon of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to produce toxic compounds like Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). Oxygenated organic and inorganic compounds (ROx) also react with nitric oxide to produce more nitrogen oxides.

13 The air that we breathe is actually a mixture of mostly the following gases- 78% N2, 21% O2, and (<1.0%) CO2 and H₂O and constitute about 99% of the air mixture on a poor air quality day. That remaining, approximate 1% of the air is associated with trace amounts of air and particle pollutants that can affect air quality, especially on hot, summer days. Groups that can be affected by poor air quality include those who have asthma, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If the total air pressure is 1.0 atm, what would be the partial pressure (atm) of O2 on a poor air quality day? atm. 480 words IX English (United States) (5 points) Focus F E
