What is difference between thermal and photochemical reaction?
Photochemical reaction: a chemical reaction induced by electromagnetic radiations: ul- traviolet, visible, etc.) Thermal reaction: a chemical reaction induced by increasing the temperature (ex.: thermal dissociation, etc.)
What is the decomposition reaction caused by light called?
photochemical reactions
What do you call when yellowing occurs caused by lack of sunlight?
chlorosis-loss of the green colour caused by factors other than lack of sunlight
What caused the egg size to increase while putting it in vinegar?
a chemical reaction occured between the eggshell and the vinegar. That is what made it increase in size.
Would a false positive from the reaction between the inoculating loop and hydrogen peroxide be caused by poor specificity or poor sensitivity of the catalase test system?
The false positive from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and the inoculating loop would be caused by poor specificity. The formula for specificity is TN/TN+FP.
What is the meaning of photochemical smog?
Photochemical Smog is any chemical reaction that takes place with the presence of sunlight. The most common example is Ground-level Ozone, caused by reactions of common pollutants along with their reaction to the sunlight.
Photochemical smog is caused by the action on chemicals of what?
Photochemical smog is caused by the action on chemicals of sunlight.
What is difference between thermal and photochemical reaction?
Photochemical reaction: a chemical reaction induced by electromagnetic radiations: ul- traviolet, visible, etc.) Thermal reaction: a chemical reaction induced by increasing the temperature (ex.: thermal dissociation, etc.)
Does photochemical smog is caused by the action of sunlight on chemicals?
yes, yes it does
What is the decomposition reaction caused by light called?
photochemical reactions
Photochemical smog is caused by?
Nitrous Oxide
Is a fossil fuel a photochemical smog?
Fossil fuels are coal,oil and natural gas. They are not themselves photochemical smog. That is a complex mixture caused by the action of sunlight on air containing substances released when fuels burn. Thus it is connected to fossil fuels, but it is not the same thing.
How does photochemical smog differ from industrial smog?
London-type smog is caused mainly by air pollution due to combustion of coal and emission of sulphur dioxide and dust. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution produced when sunlight acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances.
What is the term for mixture of smoke chemicals and fog?
The original ten was smog for SMoke + fOG. With more modern events where the effect is caused by the action of sunlight and ozone on chemicals or auto exhaust and fog it is often referred to as Photochemical Smog
What are the measures to control smog?
Photochemical smog is caused by the mixing of hydrocarbons and NOx in the presence of sunlight. Smog may be controlled by: * Controlling industrial emissions of the precursors * Reducing automobile emissions by reducing traffic or increasing pollution control
What are the cause of smog of acid rain?
it is caused bye photochemical smog and acid rain
What are problems caused by photochemical smog?
Problems caused by photochemical smog are:It will cause a decrease in lung capacity and lung elasticity.It will cause damage to leaf tissues.It will corrode synthetic material.It will crack rubber and synthetic rubber products.
