Question
Nighttime loss of NOx in the lower troposphere proceeds by:
NO + O3 --> NO2 +O2 (1)
NO2 + O3 --> NO3 + O2 (2)
NO2 + NO3 + M <--> N2O5 +M (3)
N2O5 --> 2HNO3 (in aerosol H2O) (4)
Let NO3* represent the chemical family composed of NO3 and N2O5, ie,
[NO3*]=[NO3]+[N2O5]. Calculate the lifetime of NO3* at night.
Expert Solution
Step 1
The nighttime loss of NOx in the lower troposphere proceeds through a series of reactions as given:
- NO + O3 → NO2 + O2
- NO2 + O3 → NO3 + O2
- NO2 + NO3 + M ⇌ N2O5 + M
- N2O5 → 2HNO3 (in aerosol H2O)
Let [NO]0 and [NO2]0 be the initial concentrations of NO and NO2, respectively. Let [NO3*]0 be the initial concentration of NO3* (i.e., [NO3*]0 = [NO3]0 + [N2O5]0).
