What is flurocarbons?
Carbon based compounds which contain fluoride. By far the most commonly known fluorocarbons are the chlorofluorocarbons - CFCs - that were implicated in the degradation of the ozone layer.
What is the chemical formula for the compound that carbon and fluorine create?
Carbon and fluorine can combine to form carbon tetrafluoride, which has the formula CF4. Many of these compounds, which include fluorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), and halogenated alkanes, are harmful to the environment and in some cases have been banned.
What can you dissolve in propane?
Liquid propane can dissolve many non-polar compounds such as lipids, hydrocarbonds, halogenated hydrocarbons (with exception to fluorocarbons), etc. Substances such as water are too polar and are more attracted to itself than non-polar substances and thus do not dissolve.
Is fluorine gas explosive?
Not in and of itself. However, it is extremely reactive, and the person trying to make the first fluorocarbons blew up not one but two labs attempting to do so by reacting fluorine with first carbon and secondly with hydrocarbons (which tend to react more slowly than pure carbon does).
What are the uses of ununquadium?
Any practical uses.
What are zenons?
zenons are fluorocarbons
is fluorocarbons a greenhouse gas?
no
What is Affected by fluorocarbons?
Stratosphere. :)
What is fluoride of hydrocarbon?
Fluorocarbons
How do fluorocarbons effect the the environment and air quality?
fluorocarbons affect the air quality by destroying the air molecules in the ozone layer
Who will be affected by the law of fluorocarbons?
Companies and factories.
What will happen economically if fluorocarbons are banned?
dodododo will happen
What are the financial consequences of banning fluorocarbons?
If fluorocarbons are banned the government will lose money because people might not like pump sprays and other substitutions for aerosol spray cans.
Can fluorocarbons and catalysts help fix the ozone layer?
No,, they can't. They destroy the ozone.
What are HFCs?
HFC's are Hydro fluorocarbons that are used as refrigerants. They are considered to be ozone destroyers.
Who will be most affected by new law banning the use of fluorocarbons?
Because of the rain
Why is there less ozone in the atmosphere than there used to be?
Fluorocarbons, (man made chemicals).
