Zorluk: OrtaComposition and Pollution of Air

Match each atmospheric pollutant listed on the left with its primary health or environmental impact listed on the right.

  • Carbon (II) oxide (CO\text{CO})Binds to hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, impairing oxygen transport in blood
  • Sulfur (IV) oxide (SO2\text{SO}_2)Combines with atmospheric moisture to form acid rain, leading to structural corrosion
  • Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs\text{CFCs})Catalyzes the destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer via free radical reactions
  • Oxides of nitrogen (NOx\text{NO}_x)Reacts with volatile organic compounds in sunlight to form photochemical smog

Cevap

Carbon (II) oxide matches with binding to hemoglobin; Sulfur (IV) oxide matches with acid rain formation; Chlorofluorocarbons match with ozone layer depletion; Oxides of nitrogen match with photochemical smog formation.
Each atmospheric pollutant has a distinct chemical property and mechanism of damage: Carbon (II) oxide binds tightly to blood hemoglobin; Sulfur (IV) oxide generates acidic rain upon dissolution in atmospheric water; Chlorofluorocarbons decompose UV light to yield chlorine free radicals that destroy ozone; and Oxides of nitrogen react under solar radiation to create photochemical smog.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the toxicological pathway of Carbon (II) oxide.
Carbon (II) oxide has a high affinity for hemoglobin, forming carboxyhemoglobin.
It interferes directly with oxygen transport in mammals.
2
Analyze atmospheric sulfur chemistry.
Sulfur (IV) oxide gas dissolves in rainwater forming trioxosulfate (IV) acid / tetraoxosulfate (VI) acid.
This acid rain degrades building materials and stonework.
3
Analyze stratospheric halide chemistry.
Chlorofluorocarbons release chlorine atoms under UV radiation.
Free chlorine atoms catalytically destroy protective ozone.
4
Analyze tropospheric nitrogen chemistry.
Oxides of nitrogen participate in secondary photochemical atmospheric reactions.
Interaction with hydrocarbons in sunlight forms haze-like photochemical smog.
