The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which one of the following is not a property of classical smog?", we will analyze the properties of classical smog and identify the incorrect statement. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Classical Smog**: - Classical smog is a type of air pollution that typically occurs in cold and humid climates. It is characterized by a mixture of smoke and fog. 2. **Identifying Components**: - The main components of classical smog include: - Nitrogen oxides (NOx) - Sulfur dioxide (SO2) - Particulate matter - These components are primarily pollutants that contribute to the formation of smog. 3. **Physical Appearance**: - Classical smog has a dark brown haze-like appearance, which is a result of the pollutants present. 4. **Temperature Conditions**: - Classical smog occurs at low temperatures, which is consistent with its formation in cold, humid environments. 5. **Primary vs. Secondary Pollutants**: - It is important to distinguish between primary and secondary pollutants: - **Primary Pollutants**: These are directly emitted from sources (e.g., NO2, SO2). - **Secondary Pollutants**: These are formed through chemical reactions in the atmosphere (e.g., ozone, sulfuric acid). - Classical smog is primarily composed of primary pollutants. 6. **Evaluating the Options**: - Now, we will evaluate the given options to identify which one is not a property of classical smog: - **Option A**: Occurs at low temperature - This is true. - **Option B**: Secondary pollutant plays a significant role - This is false for classical smog as it is primarily composed of primary pollutants. - **Option C**: Contains SO2 - This is true. - **Option D**: Dark brown color - This is true. 7. **Conclusion**: - The statement that is not a property of classical smog is **Option B**: "Secondary pollutant plays significant role". ### Final Answer: **Option B**: Secondary pollutant plays significant role. ---
