The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of smog that occurs mainly due to automobile exhausts at high temperatures over congested metropolitan cities, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the term "smog":** - Smog is a combination of smoke and fog. It typically occurs in urban areas where there is a high concentration of pollutants. 2. **Identify the sources of smog:** - The question specifies that the smog is caused mainly by automobile exhausts. This indicates that the pollutants are primarily from vehicles. 3. **Differentiate between types of smog:** - There are different types of smog, primarily: - **London smog:** This type is associated with industrial emissions and is rich in sulfur compounds. - **Photochemical smog:** This type is formed when sunlight reacts with pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, primarily from automobile emissions. 4. **Consider the conditions mentioned in the question:** - The question states that this smog occurs at high temperatures over congested metropolitan cities. Photochemical smog typically forms under these conditions, especially in the presence of sunlight. 5. **Conclude with the correct answer:** - Given that the smog in question is primarily caused by automobile exhausts and occurs in urban areas with high temperatures, the correct answer is **photochemical smog**. ### Final Answer: The type of smog that occurs mainly by automobile exhausts at high temperatures over congested metropolitan cities is called **photochemical smog**. ---

The source of energy of stars is nuclear fusion. Fusion reaction occurs at very high temperature, about 10^(7) . Energy released in the process of fusion is due to mass defect. It is also called Q -value. Q = Delta mc^(2), Delta m = mass defect. The binding energy per nucleon of ._(1)H^(2) and ._(2)He^(4) are 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV , respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is

The source of energy of stars is nuclear fusion. Fusion reaction occurs at very high temperature, about 10^(7) . Energy released in the process of fusion is due to mass defect. It is also called Q -value. Q = Delta mc^(2), Delta m = mass defect. In a nuclear reaction ._(1)H^(2) + ._(1)H^(2) rarr ._(2)He^(3) + ._(0)n^(1) If the masses of ._(1)H^(2) and ._(2)He^(3) are 2.014741 and 3.016977 amu, respectively. then the Q -value of the reaction is nearly.

Despite the fact that aluminium is a reactive metal, it is a stable in air as well as in water. This is due to the formation of thin layer of oxide on the surface of aluminium metal which makes it passive for further attack. The layer is so useful, that in industry, it is purposely deposited by an electrolytic process called anodising. Reaction of aluminium with oxygen is highly exothermic and is called thermite reaction. 2Al_((s)) +(3)/(2) O_(2(g)) rarr Al_(2)O_(3(s)) Delta_(f) H^(Ө) = -1670 kJmol^-1 This reaction finds application for welding of metal and in the metallurgical extraction of many metals from their oxides. The limitation is that to start the reaction, high temperature is required for which an ignition mixture is required. Which of the following metals cannot be extracted by using Al as a reducing agent ?
