Chapter 7, Problem 93P(choose chapter or problem)
NO is a pollutant emitted by motor vehicles. It is formed by the reaction:
(a)Β \(\mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}(g)\)
Once in the atmosphere, NO (through a series of reactions) adds one oxygen atom to form \(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\). \(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\) then interacts with UV light according to the reaction:
(b)Β \(\mathrm{NO} 2(\mathrm{~g}) \underset{\mathrm{UV} \text { light }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{NO}(g)+\mathrm{O}(g)\)
These freshly formed oxygen atoms then react with \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) in the air to form ozone \((\mathrm{O}_{3})\), a main component of Smog:
(c)Β \(\mathrm{O}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{O}_{3}(g)\)
Classify each of the preceding reactions (a, b, c) as a synthesis, decomposition, single-displacement, or double-displacement reaction.

ANSWER:
Solution 93P
Here, we have to find out the type of each reaction.
Synthesis:Β When two or more molecules combine together to form a new compound is called synthesis.
Decomposition :It is a chemical reaction where a single compound splits into two or more simple substances under suitable conditions.
Single displacement reaction:Β It is a chemical reaction where an element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound.
Double displacement reaction:
