What is chloroflourocarbon?

Answer 1

A chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is an organic compound that contains only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of methane, ethane, and propane. The chemical compounds were once used in household products, but are now known to cause serious health issues.

Answer 2

Chloro Fluro Carbons (also called CFCs) are gases made up of three elements Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon. They were once widely used as a coolant in refrigerators and as a propellant in aerosol cans. It was discovered in the late 1970s and early 1980s that CFCs from old and damaged refrigerators and old aerosol cans gradually found their way into the upper atmosphere where the they damaged the ozone layer. The ozone layer protects the Earth from harmful radiation. As a rsult of the damage a hole began to appear in the ozone layer over the South Pole each summer, getting bigger each year. Eventually CFC use was outlawed in aerosols and refrigerators. As a result the hole in the ozone layer has been reducing in size in recent years.

Answer 3

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a group of man-made chemicals composed of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. They were once commonly used as refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and solvents. However, due to their contribution to ozone depletion, their production is now heavily regulated under the Montreal Protocol.

Answer 4

Chlorofluorocarbon- it destroy the ozone layer


Ozone layer- protects the earth by absorbing and deflecting 99% of the harmful ultra violet rays

Answer 5

its a mix of chlorine,flourine & carbon

Answer 6

What is a chloroflorocarbon? What is a chloroflorocarbon? What is a chloroflorocarbon?

Answer 7

Chlorofluorocarbons or CFC's are organic compounds that are volatile derivatives of methane, ethane, and propane. In 1973, scientists discovered that CFC's can deplete the ozone layer.

Answer 8

chlorofluorocarbon is harmful substances that destroys the ozone layer..

Answer 9

Chlorofluorocarbons are compounds made up up of chlorine and fluorine. They are responsible for depletion of ozone layer.
