How many grams of Cl are in 38.0 g of each sample of chlorofluorocarbons?

It depends on which chlorofluorocarbons you're talking about. CCl3F (Freon-11) is about 77.5 mass percent chlorine, so 38.0 grams of it would contain about 29.5 grams of chlorine. Other chlorofluorocarbons have different formulae and therefore contain different amounts of chlorine.


Is destroyed by chlorine atoms released from CFCs?

Chlorofluorocarbon i.e. CFC's are the compounds released from refrigrants and air conditioners. These being lighter than the air are carried upwards towards the atmosphere, stratosphere to be precise. These CFC's there in the presence of high energy ultraviolet rays breakdown into chlorine and fluorine which further react with ozone to form unstable compound and deplete it.


What was goal of the Montreal protocol?

To encourage research into substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons. Recycle existing chlorofluorocarbons rather than release them into the air and reduce the amount of the new production of chlorofluorocarbons in developed countries.The Montreal Protocol is an international treaty designed to help protect the ozone layer. Its objectives include phasing out CFCs and HCFCs which are both harmful to the earth.The Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding agreement that all countries signed. It came into effect in 2005 and its aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to lower levels in the atmosphere. All countries are now making efforts to reduce their emissions. (The US refused to ratify this convention, and Canada withdrew from it in 2011.)
