The correct Answer is:
To identify the correct statements regarding environmental chemistry, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Winter smog is reducing in nature due to presence of particulate carbon and `SO_(2)`." - **Analysis**: Winter smog is indeed characterized by the presence of smoke (particulate carbon) and sulfur dioxide (`SO_(2)`). These components contribute to the reducing nature of winter smog. Thus, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "The pollutant obtained from emission tubes of diesel engines is benzopyrene." - **Analysis**: Benzopyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is indeed emitted from diesel engines due to incomplete combustion. It is recognized as a pollutant. Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Photochemical smog is made up of PAN, `O_(3)` and oxides of nitrogen." - **Analysis**: Photochemical smog is formed when pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react in the presence of sunlight. It includes components like ozone (`O_(3)`) and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). Thus, this statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "CFCs are stable in troposphere and act as pollutants in stratosphere." - **Analysis**: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are stable in the troposphere, allowing them to reach the stratosphere, where they break down ozone and act as pollutants. This statement is also **correct**. ### Conclusion: All four statements are correct. ### Final Answer: All statements (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) are correct. ---
