Question

Smog and fog both are aerosols. In what way are they different?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dispersion medium is same, i.e., air but they differ in dispersed phase. In smoke, solid carbon particles are dispersed in air while in fog, liquid water particles are dispersed in air.

Smoke and fog both are aerosols but their dispersed phase is different. The dispersed phase in fog is liquid (water droplets) whereas the dispersed phase in smoke is solid (particulate matter). Both fog and smoke have gas at the dispersion medium.
