Question

what is chloroflurocarbon
​

Answer 1

Answer:

any of several simple gaseous compounds that contain carbon, chlorine, fluorine, and sometimes hydrogen, that are used as refrigerants, cleaning solvents, and aerosol propellants and in the manufacture of plastic foams, and that are believed to be a major cause of stratospheric ozone depletion —abbreviation CFC.

Answer 2

• CFCs and HCFCs are halogenated paraffin hydrocarbons that contain just carbon (C), hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and fluorine (F), and are created as volatile derivatives of methane, ethane, and propane.
• Freon, a DuPont brand name, is also a frequent name for them.
• Dichlorodifluoromethane is by far the most prevalent example (R-12 or Freon-12).
• Many CFCs have been employed as refrigerants, propellants (in aerosols), and solvents.
• Because CFCs contribute to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere.
• they are being phased out under the Montreal Protocol and replaced with alternative products such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), such as R-410A and R-134a.
