Q13 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (16 Mar Shift 1) · Chemistry

The type of pollution that gets increased during the daytime and in the presence of O3 is :

  • A
    Reducing smog
  • Correct answer
    B
    Oxidising smog
  • C
    Global warming
  • D
    Acid rain

Solution

In presence of ozone O3, oxidising smog gets increased during the daytime because automobiles and factories produce main components of the photochemical smog (oxidising smog) results from the action of sunlight on unsaturated hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide.

Ozone is a strong oxidising agent and can react with the unburnt hydrocarbons in the polluted air to produce chemicals.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
