The pollution due to oxides of sulphur gets enhanced due to the presence of: (a) particulate matter (b) ozone (c) hydrocarbons (d) hydrogen peroxide Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. (a), (d) only
  2. (a), (b), (d) only
  3. (b), (c), (d) only
  4. (a), (c), (d) only

Answer

(2) (a), (b), (d) only

Solution

As per NCERT, the presence of particulate matter in polluted air catalyses the oxidation of sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide:

2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)

The reaction can also be promoted by ozone and hydrogen peroxide:

SO2(g) + O3(g) SO3(g) + O2(g)

SO2(g) + H2O2(l) H2SO4(aq)

(a), (b) and (d) enhance the pollution; hydrocarbons are not involved.
