Refrigerants are substances used in cooling systems, such as air conditioners and refrigerators. It is true that refrigerants can have a negative impact on the environment if they are released into the atmosphere. Certain types of refrigerants, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), contribute to ozone depletion and global warming. Therefore, it is important to use environmentally friendly refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or natural refrigerants like ammonia or carbon dioxide.

What is inorganic refrigerants?
Inorganic refrigerants are refrigerants that are not organic
Which of these would you expect to be true regarding the solubility of KOH in water?
Very soluble in water! :)
What are two compound refrigerants?
Refrigerants are substances which are used in refrigerators and they are generally gases. They are periodically compressed and allowed to expand adiabatically in order to bring the temperature lower and lower. This is how the temperature inside a refrigerator gets lower and lower. CFC (Chlorofluoro Carbon) and Methane (CH4) are such two compound refrigerants. Now a days due to environmental issues the practice of using these gases as refrigerants is discouraged. They are found to be potent global warming gases.
Which one of the following statements is true regarding paragraph?

Can you ingest refrigerants from contaminated ice cubes?
Yes, it's possible to ingest refrigerants from contaminated ice. But the quantities will be small, and anyone who swallows a bit of "regular" refrigerant will likely not suffer any ill effects. Swallowing refrigerant isn't something that is high on the list of things of concern. In general it isn't something to "worry" about. The exception might be refrigerants based on ammonia, but if there was any of that in the ice, your nose would tell you the pungent stuff was there. There are a zillion different refrigerants. These refrigerants are very volatile. They want to turn to gas and get out of Dodge if they have any opportunity to do so. And they won't freeze at anywhere near the temperature that ice does. Refrigerant that "gets loose" in water that is being frozen to make ice would bubble out quickly. Refrigerants pose a hazard in their gaseous form, and there are many cases of individuals being overcome by them. In air, the refrigerants are "heavy" and will collect in low places by displacing air - and the oxygen in it. Anyone moving through a space where refrigerants have "taken over" will quickly approach unconsciousness. It would be easy to pass out, and then, if no one happens by in just moments, asphyxiation would follow in a very short time.
What is inorganic refrigerants?
Inorganic refrigerants are refrigerants that are not organic
What condition can you use a disposable cylinder to recover refrigerants?
NEVER
Is freon gas flammable?
"Freon" is a trademark name of DuPont for a series of HFC and CFC refrigerants which they manufactured - other companies manufactured and continue to manufacture the same refrigerants, but cannot use the name Freon for their product. Some of the refrigerants marketed under the name Freon are flammable, and some are not. The CFC refrigerants will almost certainly be flammable - the HFC refrigerants may or may not be.
What group of refrigerants is considered the safest?
HFC refrigerants
Which statement is TRUE regarding infants born to HIV infected mothers?
Which are true statements regarding infant HIV
Explain what Refrigeration Compatibility means in relation to refrigeration oils?
There are different types of refrigerant oils. Refrigerants such as R22 and R12 usually use mineral oil. But some of blended refrigerants like R410A can sometimes use a poly oil. These oils can not be blended together. So a system that already has a refrigerant with mineral oil must be charged with refrigerants with the same oil.
What is true regarding the Buddha?
Many things are true regarding the Buddha. You need to narrow down your question, or give some context.
What two statements are true regarding the advantages of the use of static routes?
Incresed SecurityThe administrator has controls over routing
The ozone layer is damaged by the use of?
The ozone layer is damaged by the use of CFC's. These CFC's are synthetic miracle compounds used as refrigerants.
IS R134a freon compatible with R404?
No. NEVER mix refrigerants or use any refrigerant other than what the system is intended to use.
Why are refrigerants responsible for ozone layer depletion?
Refrigerants release CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
What is true regarding inventory cost flow assumptions?
A company may use more than one costing method concurrently.
