SO2=12.2% NOx=34.7% NH3=6.4% these percents show typical emission fractions by mass for different primary pollutants. Assume that all the SOx is SO2. Assume all the NOx is NO. Lets take 100 g of primary emissions so that the percentages turn into g. Compute the mol amounts for SO2, NO, and NH3.

Assume for the moment that

all of the SO2 is ultimately converted to H2SO4, all of the NO is ultimately converted to HNO3 ,As you know, H2SO4 Is a diprotic acid and HNO3 is a monoprotic acid

a. Despite the fact that the segment for NH3 looks small at 6.4%, is there enough NH3 to neutralize both the first proton on all the H2SO4 plus the proton on all of the HNO3?

b. If the answer to part a is yes, then what fraction of the second proton on the H2SO4 will also be neutralized.

c. Is there enough acid to knock down all the ammonia? (which would otherwise remain in the gas phase)

For the 100 g of emissions, compute equivalents of base from NH3 equivalents of acid from HNO3 equivalents of acid from H2SO4 the total equivalents of acid from HNO3 and H2SO4 ratio of total equivalents of acid as from HNO3 and H2SO4 to equivalents of base as NH3 In general, considering the result for ratio of total equivalents of acid as from HNO3 and H2SO4 to equivalents of base as NH3, would you expect that anthropogenic air pollution generally leads air pollution PM, polluted fog, and polluted rain that are rather acidic? neutral? or basic?
