What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
Are chlorinated hydrocarbons found in solvents?
YES! dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform are the examples
Who first proposed a correlation between chlorinated hydrocarbons and ozone depletion?
Slater Davis
Can ozone reform?
Yes, the formation and destruction of ozone is an equilibrium reaction in the stratosphere.The formation and destruction of ozone is an ongoing process between oxygen and ultraviolet light in the stratosphere. Problems with the ozone layer developed when chlorine from chlorinated hydrocarbons (freon and CGS, etc) moved the equilibrium point in the ozone formation/destruction cycle towards a state of less ozone.Efforts to reduce the use and release of chlorinated hydrocarbons has receded the chlorinated hydrocarbons in the atmosphere and returned to ozone levels to a more normal equilibrium point.
Is organic solvent an oxidizing agent?
Organic solvent can be an oxidizing agent in some circumstances but usually is not. All hydrocarbon solvents, chlorinated hydrocarbons and ethers are not for example.

What is it call when a substance that dissolve in water?
It is said to be water soluble. Other materials may be soluble in oils, aromatic hydrocarbons, or chlorinated compounds.

What chemicals are used in insecticides?
Two common are shared by most insecticide chemicals. They are chlorinated hydrocarbons and organophosphates. Newer chemicals include parathion and malathion.
What is the solvent for neoprene rubber?
Aromatic hydrocarbons like toluene, ketones, paraffins, chlorinated hydrocarbons and turpentine.

Does marvel mystery oil contain alcohol?
Not exactly. According to the MSDS, the 3 volatile ingredients are: Mineral Spirits, Naptha, and Chlorinated Hydrocarbons. The first two are petroleum based.
