what is the full form of CFC
Answers
Explanation:
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. They are used in the manufacture of aerosol sprays, blowing agents for foams and packing materials, as solvents, and as refrigerants.
Answer:
The full form of CFC is Chloro flouro carbon
Explaination:
CFC(Chloro flouro Carbon) is 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 because CFCs does not breakdown easily and deplete the ozone layer.In recent years Ozone hole over Antartica had been found.
Some More Knowledge:
- CFCs are now replaced by the HCFCs(Hydro Chloroflouro carbons) in order to prevent depletion of Ozone layer.
- HCFCs does deplete ozone layer because they contains hydrogen which breakdown easily.
