Examine the graph below which shows the concentrations (in parts per million) of some of the local smog components and the unbalanced and unordered chemical equations involved. Concentration for Sor color.) 1. Order the chemical reactions into a mechanism (which step comes first, which comes second...) to explain the data in the plot. 2. Explain why you chose the order of reactions to explain the data. 3. Where do you think the NO comes from (Hint: at what time of day does its concentration peak?)
Expert Answer
1. The chemical reactions given are balanced and arranged into a order as given below: 1. N2 (g) +O2 (g) ? 2NO (g) 2. 2NO (g) + O2 (g) ? 2NO2 (g) 3. NO2 (g)+ h? ? NO (g) + O. (g) 4. O. (g) + O2 (g) ? O3 (g)
