Refrigerant breakdown and the formation of harmful acids are primarily caused by high temperatures, moisture contamination, and the presence of metallic debris. When refrigerants are subjected to excessive heat or operate outside their designed parameters, they can chemically decompose. Additionally, moisture in the system can react with refrigerants and lubricants, leading to acid formation. Over time, these acids can corrode system components, reducing efficiency and potentially causing system failure.

Why is an HCFC refrigerant considered less harmfull to the ozone than a CFC refrigerant?
HCFC refrigerants contain hydrogen, which makes them less harmful to the ozone layer compared to CFC refrigerants that contain chlorine. When CFCs break down in the atmosphere, they release chlorine atoms that can destroy ozone molecules. In contrast, HCFCs break down more quickly and release fewer chlorine atoms, reducing their ozone-depleting potential.
What type of reaction can break up two amino acids?
The reaction that can break up two amino acids is called hydrolysis. During hydrolysis, a water molecule is added to the peptide bond between the amino acids, causing it to break and resulting in the release of individual amino acids. This reaction is often catalyzed by enzymes such as peptidases or proteases in biological systems.
Could an enzyme which causes proteins to break down into their component amino acids also cause starch to break down into sugar molecules?
No. Because different proteins only work for specific causes. Pepsin in your stomach breaks proteins down into the amino acids which your body can reuse, and amylase in your mouth breaks down starch into glucose molecules. Enzymes have a specific "shape" which is used to as a catalyst for only specific reactions. Think of it like this. One enzyme will only work for one chemical reaction. This is why you have billions of them in you.
Is acids from plants roots that break up rocks a mechanical reaction?
No, the process of acids from plant roots breaking up rocks is a chemical reaction, not a mechanical one. The acids chemically react with the minerals in the rocks, causing them to break down over time.
What does the duodenum does?
It distributes bile and pancreatic acids to help break down food
Do dogs have special acids that break down bones in the digestive system?
They break down in the acids.
What do proteins break into?
proteins break into amino acids ;)
What are the functions of peroxisomes?
The function of Peroxisomes (also no as Micro-bodies) is to break down a long chain of fatty acids. The micro-bodies break the fatty acids down and make it more manageable for the rest of the cells.
What food does amyplase break down?
acids work together to break it down

What type of bacteria causes staph infection?
Staphylococcus is a harmful bacterium but most of the time it stays outside the skin waiting for a chance to get through a cut, graze or any other break in the surface.
Lichen produce acids that can slowly break down rock in the process of?
Lichen produce acids that can slowly break down rock through a process called chemical weathering. This process involves the acids in the lichen secreting chemicals that react with minerals in the rock, causing it to break down over time.
Lysomes use their enzymes to break proteins into?
The lysosomes break proteins into Amino Acids
Why do acids erode limestone?
Acids react with the calcium carbonate in limestone to form soluble compounds like calcium bicarbonate or calcium chloride, which then dissolve into water. This chemical reaction causes the limestone to erode and break down over time.
What does your digestive system break proteins into?
amino acids
During digestion what organs produces enzymes that break the food into glucose or sugars amino acids fatty acids and nucleic acids?
Pancreas
Is pancreatic enzymes the final break down of carbohydrates amino acids and nucleic acids?
i don't like you :(
