How does refrigerent affect the ozone?
Refrigerants contain CFC's. These CFcs are the chemicals that react with ozone and destroy it.
Are CFCs are synthetic chemicals?
no.
Do cfcs react with other chemicals?
No.
Are CFCs flammable?
A chlorofluorocarbon, or CFC, is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine and fluorine. It is produced as a volatile derivative of methane, ethane and propane. CFCs are generally considered as non-flammable.
True or false are all CFCs synthetic chemicals?
True. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are synthetic chemicals that are created through industrial processes. They are commonly used as refrigerants, solvents, and propellants.
What is the materials use at home that contain CFCs?
Materials used at home that may contain CFCs include old refrigerators, air conditioners, and foam insulation. These items were commonly produced using CFCs before their harmful effects on the environment were understood.
Do CFCs strengthen the ozone layer?
No, the chlorine and other chemicals in CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone molecules and weaken the ozone layer.
What group of chemicals have contributed to the hole in the ozone layer?
CFCs, or chlorofluorocarbons.
What affects does chlorofluorocarbons have had on your ozone layer?
CFCs are the chemicals that are responsible for the depletion of ozone layer. These chemicals react with ozone to deplete it.
What human-made chemicals cause the ozone to deplete?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, and certain types of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are human-made chemicals that cause ozone depletion. When these substances are released into the atmosphere, they break down and release chlorine and bromine atoms, which then destroy ozone molecules in the stratosphere.
What synthetic chemicals appear to be causing the depletion of the Earths protective ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic chemicals known to cause depletion of the Earth's protective ozone layer. These chemicals are often used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and aerosol propellants.
What layer of the atmosphere is being destroyed by certain chemicals?
The ozone layer present in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere is being destroyed by certain chemicals. These chemicals are CFCs.
