Which one of the following is not a common component of photochemical smog?
To solve this problem, we need to understand the components of photochemical smog.Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution that results from the reaction of sunlight with pollutants such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.It typically contains the following components:• Ozone (O): Formed by the reaction of sunlight with nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds.• Acrolein: An aldehyde that is a byproduct of the photochemical reactions.• Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN): A secondary pollutant formed from the reaction of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons.Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), on the other hand, are not typically associated with photochemical smog.CFCs are stable compounds that are primarily involved in stratospheric ozone depletion rather than tropospheric photochemical smog.Therefore, the component that is not a common part of photochemical smog is:Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).This corresponds to Option 4.
