Which refrigerants contain the most chlorine?

Refrigerants that contain chlorine are known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). Among these, CFC-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) and CFC-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) are two of the refrigerants that contain the most chlorine.


What refrigerant contains a CFC R-500 R-22 R-134a or r-123?

R-22 is the refrigerant that contains CFC (chlorofluorocarbon). R-134a does not contain CFCs but is considered an HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant. R-500 contains a mixture of CFC-12 and CFC-22. R-123 is a halocarbon refrigerant but does not contain CFCs specifically.


What happens to the CFC molecule in the lower atmosphere?

In the lower atmosphere, CFC molecules undergo photolysis when they are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This process breaks down the CFC molecule into chlorine atoms, which can then catalyze the destruction of ozone molecules. This contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer.


Why are the effects of the CFC gases ban taking so long to work?

CFC gases have a long atmospheric lifetime, meaning they can persist for many years after being emitted. It takes time for them to break down and be removed from the atmosphere. Additionally, some older equipment and products containing CFCs may still be in use, delaying the full impact of the ban.


What green house gases do not occur in nature?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride are examples of greenhouse gases that do not occur naturally in the atmosphere but are produced through human activities, such as industrial processes and the use of certain products.
