Fluorinated compounds are used in a variety of applications such as in refrigerants, solvents, and pharmaceuticals. They are also used in the manufacturing of materials like Teflon for non-stick coatings and in electronics for insulating materials. Additionally, fluorinated compounds are used in firefighting foams due to their ability to quickly extinguish fires.
What else can I help you with?
What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
What do you greenhouse gases include?
Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. While CO2 is primarily produced from fossil fuel combustion, methane is released during agriculture and waste management, and nitrous oxide comes from agricultural practices and industrial processes. Fluorinated gases are synthetic and used in various industrial applications, often having a much higher warming potential than CO2.
Which gas does the Kyoto Treaty seek to limit?
The Kyoto Treaty seeks to limit greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and a group of fluorinated gases. These gases are considered responsible for global warming and climate change.
What type of foam do you use on polar solvents?
Fluorocarbon-based or fluorinated foams are typically used for combating polar solvents due to their resistance to those types of chemicals. These foams form a protective barrier on the surface of the solvent, preventing ignition or further spread of the fire.
What are common uses of alkali earth metal?
There are many uses. Most of them are industrial uses.
What has the author Colan Leslie Andrews written?
Colan Leslie Andrews has written: 'The synthesis of some novel fluorinated heterocyclic compounds from fluorinated olefinic precursors'
What for benzotrifluoride used?
a very good cleaning solvent can be made from a blend of benzotrifluoride and a fluorinated compound. This blend will actually clean better than the fluorinated compound by itself. Surprisingly, although benzotrifluoride is a flammable solvent, we have found that it can be made non-flammable with the addition of only a small amount of the fluorinated compound.
What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
What has the author ZO El-Koussa written?

What has the author Andrew William Scott written?

What has the author Erik Kissa written?
Erik Kissa has written: 'Fluorinated Surfactants' -- subject(s): Organofluorine compounds, Surface active agents
Is the mineral Fluorite rare?
Fluorite is not that rare but the purer forms referred to as "acid grade" are and most comes from China. It is required for manufacturing of fluorinated products such as PTFE
What is responsible for making the hole in the ozone layer?
Monatomic chlorine transported by chlorinated-fluorinated hydrocarbons (e.g. freons, CFCs) used in refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, aerosol cans, etc. The monatomic chlorine acts as a catalyst, with one chlorine atom decomposing many thousands of molecules of ozone to oxygen before being removed or neutralized. This effect is many orders of magnitude larger than the natural variation with the seasons and has the potential of destroying the entire ozone layer if the use of chlorinated-fluorinated hydrocarbons is uncontrolled. However, fluorinated hydrocarbons (FCs) and hydro-chlorinated-fluorinated hydrocarbons (HCFCs) can perform the same functions as CFCs without transporting chlorine to the ozone layer. FCs contain no chlorine and HCFCs break apart in the lower atmosphere.
What are green house emission?
There are four different greenhouse emissions that help to reduce the emissions on the earth. These four include methane, carbon dioxide, fluorinated gases and nitrous oxide.
What has the author Mark John Ernsting written?
Mark John Ernsting has written: 'Generation of antioxidant and cell-signaling polycarbonate polyurethane surfaces with bioactive fluorinated surface modifiers'
What is a fluorinated hydrocarbon?
HBFCs are a group of simple man-made chemicals that contain the elements hydrogen, fluorine and bromine. They are chemicals that damage the stratospheric ozone layer that protects earth from high levels of ultra violet radiation. They are used as solvents, degreasing agents, fire extinguishing agents and refrigerants.
What are the 4 main green house gases?
The four main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (such as hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride).
