Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine, and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of methane and ethane.
They were commonly used as refrigerants, and for propellants for aerosol sprays, though they have been mostly phased out due to the fact that they cause ozone depletion.

∙ 15y agoCFC, i.e., Chlorofluorocarbon was found commonly in aerosol cans, in refrigerators, in air conditioners, etc.
Since the adoption of the Montreal Protocol the use of CFC has essentially been eliminted. Cooling systems using this compound now use HCFCs which cause less harm to the ozone layer or, in the case of gaseous propellants, inert gases such as nitrogen. SOme fire suppressant systems use Halon which is a CFC but this is limited to aircraft were the weight savings are important.

∙ 9y agoCFC's are chlorofluorocarbons. They react with ozone to deplete it.

What are some connections between CFC's breaking down the ozone layer and how does it increase global warming with weather that occurs in the troposphere?
cfc's and the ozone layer have no connection with the issue of global warming or with weather events.
There is evidence that CFC's have formed holes in the?
There is evidence that CFC's have formed hole in the ozone. These evidence are found by scientists.
What do Halons and CFC s do to the ozone A inhibit ozone formation B cause ozone formation in the troposphere C destroy ozone in the stratosphere D cause excess ozone formation in the stratosphere?
Halons and CFC s both destroy ozone in the stratosphere.
What 2 places is ozone found?
The ozone is found in atmosphere. It is also found in troposphere.
Which gas is used instead of CFC in Refrigerators now-a-days?
LPG - Liquid propane gas or other Hydrocarbon derivatives... Soft CFC's, they added hydrogen to the CFC's previously used that were called hard CFC's. By doing this it won't allow the CFC's to travel up to the stratosphere, where it breaks down the ozone. With the added hydrogen will stop it in the troposphere and combine to form compounds such as CO2 + HCl (or HF), therefore not harmful to the ozone. Examples CH2Cl (HCFC-22) or CHCl2-CF2 (HCFC-123)

What are the objects found on troposphere?
Troposphere is the layer closest to earth. All the cloud formation happens in troposphere only.
What layers are ozone found?
The layers ozone is found is troposphere and stratosphere. The stratosphere is the second layer next to troposphere.
Is the ozone found in the troposphere bad for us?
The ozone found in the troposphere is a pollunt. It also acts as a greenhouse gas.
What kinds of meteorological phenomena can be can be found in the troposphere?
you can find storm clouds in the troposphere
What is found in the troposphere?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the one in which people and plants and animals live. Almost all the water vapor in the atmosphere is found in the troposphere, some as cloud layers. The troposphere is therefore the location of almost all weather.
Where is water vapour found?
on the troposphere
Bad ozone is found in the troposphere and contributes to what?
Bad ozone is found in the troposphere. It might lead to irritation in skin and rashes to humans.
There is evidence that CFC's have formed holes in the?
There is evidence that CFC's have formed hole in the ozone. These evidence are found by scientists.
What kinds of meteorological phenomena can be found in the layer called troposphere?
you can find storm clouds in the troposphere
