Answer
Sulphur trioxide to sulphuric acid
H2O + SO3 ⟶ H2SO4Nitrogen to nitrogen dioxide in internal combustion engine
N2 + O2 ⟶ 2NO [At High Temperatures]
2NO + O2 ⟶ 2NO2Methane to carbon dioxide
CH4 + 2O2 ⟶ CO2 + 2H2O + ΔA molecule of ozone to two molecules of oxygen gas
O3 O2 + [O]
O3 + [O] ⟶ 2O2Oxygen to ozone gas by photolysis
O2 [O] + [O]
O2 + [O] ⟶ O3 [ozone]
