How do you use aerosol in a sentence?
We will also ban the sale of aerosol paint cans to children under the age of 16.
How do you use the word depletion in a sentence to clearly show its meaning?
Continued use of aerosol cans will lead to depletion of the ozone layer.
Why are CFCs banned as refrigerator coolants but are still allowed in aerosol cans?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were once used as propellants in aerosol cans, but since the Montreal Protocol was agreed to in 1989, they have been replaced in nearly every country. This is because of the negative effects CFCs have on Earth's ozone layer. Aerosols are now propelled by mixtures of volatile hydrocarbons, typically propane, n-butane and isobutane. Food sprays use nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide.
What are aerosol sprays?
they are cans that hold spray paint you can use them to paint and you must be pretty old if you dont know this...bye.
Where can CFC's found?
Chlorofluorocarbon was found mostly in refrigerators, aerosol cans and air conditioners etc... But since the Montreal Protocol the use of CFCs has practically been eliminated. Cooling systems that use this compound now use HCFCs which causes less damage to the ozone layer
What is the gas in aerosol cans?
The aerosol-can uses compressed gas as a propellant.Since the product is liquid at room temperature, it is simply poured in before the can is sealed. The propellant, on the other hand, must be pumped in under high pressure after the can is sealed. When the propellent is kept under high enough pressure, it doesn't have any room to expand into a gas. It stays in liquid form.When the button is pressed the pressurized gas pushes the liquid product, as well as some of the liquid propellant, up the tube to the nozzle. Some cans, such as spray-paint cans, have a ball bearing inside. If you shake the can, the rattling ball bearing helps to mix up the propellant and the product, so the product is pushed out in a fine mist.Up until the 1980s, a lot of liquefied-gas aerosol cans used chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as a propellant. After scientists concluded that CFCs were harmful to the ozone layer, 70 nations signed the Montreal Protocol, an agreement to phase out CFC use over the next decade. Today, almost all aerosol cans contain alternative propellants, such as liquefied petroleum gas, which do not pose as serious a threat to the environment.
What is being done about aerosol?
Most aerosol cans now use non-CFC propellants and are generally much kinder to the environment. Therefore they are far less damaging to the ozone-layer. Unfortunately HCFC gas used as a replacement for CFC's is potent greenhouse gas.
Is a propellant used in aerosol oxygen cans?
Assuming you're talking about the oxygen cylinders a patient would use at home - then no. The Oxygen is simply stored under high pressure in the cylinder, and is released through the step-down valve.
Why cannot aerosol cans cant be exposed to high temperatures?
Many aerosol cans use a propellant under pressure to disperse the contents of the can. These propellants are ofter flammable. If incinerated with some of this flammable propellant still in the can they would explode.
What kind of aerosol is milk?
Nothing. Milk is not an aerosol, it's a liquid that we use as a beverage.
