Chapter 11, Problem 11.84PAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the low percentage of$\text{NO}$, for production of ozone should be identified.

Concept introduction:

The ozone is produced by the reaction of nascent oxygen with the molecular oxygen present in the air as follows:

$\text{O }+{\text{ O}}_{\text{2}} \to {\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$

Nascent oxygen combines with the molecular oxygen of atmosphere and produces ozone gas.
