Question

List two types of chemical compounds that must be present in the air for photochemical smog to from. what are the most common sources of these compounds?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Photochemical smog is a mixture of pollutants that are formed when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react to sunlight, creating a brown haze above cities. It tends to occur more often in summer, because that is when we have the most sunlight. The other undesirable components of photochemical smog are nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), PAN (peroxyacetylnitrate), and chemical compounds that contain the –CHO group (aldehydes).
