Question:

The gas that is released from a supersonic jet aeroplane reacts with O\(_3\) to give:

Show Hint

Nitrogen oxides from aircraft exhaust react with ozone, forming NO\(_2\) and O\(_2\), affecting the ozone layer.

  • N\(_2\) + O\(_2\)
  • N\(_2\)O + O\(_2\)
  • NO\(_2\) + O\(_2\)
  • N\(_2\)O + N\(_2\) + O\(_2\)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Supersonic jet exhaust composition.
High-temperature exhaust contains NO which reacts with ozone.

Step 2: Reaction with ozone.

\[ \text{NO} + \text{O}_3 \rightarrow \text{NO}_2 + \text{O}_2 \]

Step 3: Final conclusion.

Thus, the gas formed is: \[ \boxed{\text{NO}_2 + \text{O}_2} \]
