Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are not catalysts themselves; rather, they are compounds that can act as ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere. In the presence of ultraviolet (UV) light, CFCs release chlorine atoms, which catalyze the breakdown of ozone (O3) molecules into oxygen (O2), significantly depleting the ozone layer. This reaction occurs in a cycle where a single chlorine atom can destroy thousands of ozone molecules before being removed from the atmosphere.

What is chemical name of cfc?
CFC is an abbreviation for the class of chemical compounds known as Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons.
What term describes a substance rhat lowers the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
This substance is called a catalyst.
Why is hydrochloroflorocarbons dangerous?
CFC's are dangerous. These CFC's result in mass depletion of ozone layer.
How do the humans effects the ozone?
Humans produce CFC's. These CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
What class of molecules has CFCs replace?
CFC's are ozone depleting substances. HCFC's are an alternative to CFC's.
CFCs are the catalyst in the destruction of Ozone. true or false?
CFC's are catalysts. They fasten the rate of reaction.
What catalyst is effective in destruction of atmosphere ozone O3?
The greenhouse gases acts as catalysts in destruction of ozone. The destruction is mainly caused by CFC's.
What type of atom acts as a catalyst in the destruction of the ozone layer?
The PSC's act as catalysts in the destruction of ozone. These are clouds on which CFC's destroy ozone.
When was Angoulême CFC created?
Angoulême CFC was created in 1920.
What is the interaction of CFC and stratospheric ozone?
CFC and ozone interact often. Here CFC's deplete ozone.

Is ozone promoted by CFC's?
No, its not. ozone is destroyed by CFC's.
Is cfc manmade?
Yes, it is. CFC's are coolants created by man.
Where in the atmosphere is ozone broken down by cfc's?
It is broken in the stratosphere. CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
Who to remove ozone?
Ozone is removed by CFC's. But it is not advisory to use CFC's.
Does carbon dioxide emit CFC?
No. CFC's are a man made gas.
How are they CFC used?
CFC are used as coolants. They react with ozone and deplete it.
