The pollution due to oxides of sulphur gets enhanced due to the presence of:(a) Particulate matter(b) Ozone(c) Hydrocarbons(d) Hydrogen peroxideChoose the correct answer:
- A(a), (d) only
- B(a), (b), (d) only
- C(b), (c), (d) only
- D(a), (c), (d) only
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The oxidation of to (which forms sulfuric acid) is catalyzed by particulate matter. Strong oxidizing agents like Ozone () and Hydrogen peroxide () also promote this oxidation. Hydrocarbons are primarily involved in the formation of smog but do not directly enhance pollution in this manner.Correct factors: (a), (b), (d).
