How can you prevent chlorofluorocarbon?

Stop manufacturing it- these compounds are not found in Nature but are all man-made.answ2. You should make yourself familiar with the work of Thomas Midgley Jr, the man who not only was prominent in giving us CFCs, but also gave us tetraethyl lead as an anti-knock in gasoline.


Why do your balls smell like gasoline?

I'm a virtual assistant and do not have physical form, so I do not have any bodily functions or smells. If you are experiencing an unusual smell like gasoline, it could be a sign of a medical issue or exposure to certain substances, and it's advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation.


Why does the decay chain stop at lead-206?

Lead-206 is a stable isotope, which means it does not undergo further radioactive decay. As a result, the decay chain stops at lead-206 because it does not have any unstable isotopes that it can decay into.


Why the mixture stop fizzing when you continued add crushed tables to the acid?

Once all the acid had already reacted with the tablets and produced carbon dioxide gas, there would be no further reaction to lead to fizzing. Adding more tablets would not create additional reactions or more gas generation beyond what has already occurred.


Why does decay chain for radioisotope U-238 eventually stop at lead?

The decay chain for U-238 stops at lead because lead-206 is a stable isotope, meaning it does not undergo further radioactive decay. Once uranium-238 undergoes a series of alpha and beta decays, it eventually reaches a stable isotope of lead, which ends the decay chain.

Which is better leaded gasoline or unleaded gasoline?

It depends what you mean by 'better'. Lead used to be added to gasoline to stop pre-ignition or detonation (which causes engine knock or 'pinking') but it was found to have very bad side effects environmentally and physiologically. most countries have banned the use of leaded gasolines, and modern gasoline have other ways of dealing with detonation. so i guess, unless you like bad air and bad health, unleaded is best.

What year did they stop selling leaded gasoline?

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 mandate the elimination of lead from all U.S. automotive motor fuel by January 1, 1996. This represents the final step in a gradual reduction of lead in gasoline since the early 1970s. "Regular" gasoline typically contained approximately 4.0 grams of lead per gallon; average lead content was reduced to 0.5 gram/gallon in 1985, and still further to 0.1 gram/gallon in 1986. "Unleaded gasoline" is allowed to contain no more than 5/100ths of a gram of lead per gallon. Aviation gasoline (avgas) exemption under the Gasoline Regulations of some countries. Avgas is used in small general aviation aircraft, specifically only in internal combustion aircraft engines with spark ignition (piston) engines. These engines require high octane fuel, currently achievable only with lead additives. In the United States, research into an unleaded aviation gasoline blend has been ongoing since 1995 in coordination with the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) and the Coordinating Research Council. It is uncertain whether a formulation will be found and certified for use before 2015.

What does it mean when gas pours out from under the car?

If gasoline pours out from under your car, and you are not in the process if adding fuel, you have a gas leak and should call the fire department and a mechanic who makes house calls or has a tow truck. If you are in the process of adding fuel and the gas pump didn't stop automatically, you may have had your fuel pump replaced with one that did not fit exactly or it did not seal properly to the gas tank.
