**Photochemical Smog and Ozone Formation in the Troposphere****Mechanism of Ozone Formation:**Photochemical smog is a complex mixture of pollutants, with ozone (O₃) being a significant component. In the lower troposphere, ozone is generated through the following mechanism involving nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), which originates from the oxidation of nitrogen monoxide in car exhaust:1. **Reaction 1:** \[ \text{NO}_2(\text{g}) \xrightarrow{k_1} \text{NO}(\text{g}) + \text{O}(\text{g}) \]2. **Reaction 2:** \[ \text{O}(\text{g}) + \text{O}_2(\text{g}) \xrightarrow{k_2} \text{O}_3(\text{g}) \]**Rate Constants and Concentrations:**- Rate constant for Reaction 1 (\(k_1\)) = \(6.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)- Rate constant for Reaction 2 (\(k_2\)) = \(1.0 \times 10^{6} \, \text{L/mol} \cdot \text{s}\)- Concentration of NO₂ = \(4.0 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{M}\)- Concentration of O₂ = \(3.0 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M}\)**Task:**Assume the rate of formation of atomic oxygen (\(O\)) in step 1 equals the rate of its consumption in step 2. Calculate the concentration of atomic oxygen \([O]\). Enter your answer in scientific notation.\[ \_\_\_\_ \times 10^{( \_\_\_\_ )} \, \text{M} \]
