Can rain demolish CFCs?
CFCs are neither soluble in water or reactive with it. Rain has no impact on CFCs
What substitutes for CFCs came into being after scientists discovered that CFCs were harming the atmosphere?
Replacements for CFCs (dependding on use) included:HCFCsNitrogenAirPropane
Are CFCs are synthetic chemicals?
no.
Which is true about CFCs?
Deplete the ozone.
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 are the properties of CFCs that make them useful?
CFC's are useful to man. They act as coolants.
Can rain demolish CFCs?
CFCs are neither soluble in water or reactive with it. Rain has no impact on CFCs
Are CFCs highly toxic?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are non-toxic.
What substitutes for CFCs came into being after scientists discovered that CFCs were harming the atmosphere?
Replacements for CFCs (dependding on use) included:HCFCsNitrogenAirPropane
How are cfcs released?
CFCs or chlorofluorocarbons are released when a device that holds it is leaking. Also some aerosols release CFCs into the atmosphere.
How are cfcs used in aerosol?
CFCs were the compressed gas that was used as "spring" to push the can contents out of the container. CFCs have been replaced with HCFCs as a consequence of the Montreal Protocol.
How do cfcs affect air heath?
By the CFCs being sorced into the air, the sun is Breaking them down into the earth.
What is short for chloroflourocarbons?
CFCs
Is there a tree which can absorb CFCs?
no
Are CFCs are synthetic chemicals?
no.
What is the chemical chlorofluorocarbons supposed to do?
CFCs (or chloroflurorocarbons), were used in aerosols or as coolants for refrigerators. They are extremely inert, which made them very useful, however, when exposed to UV light, they formed free radicals that reacted with ozone, thereby creating the phenomenon that resulting in a hole in the ozone layer above Antartica. As a result, CFCs were banned by nations after the signing of the Montreal Protocol.
How do CFCs affect animals?
They don't. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are non-toxic to humans and animals. They only kill ozone molecules.
