An ice freezer behind a restaurant has a freon leak, releasing 30.68 g of C₂H₂F3Cl into the air every week. If the leak is not fixed, how many kilograms of fluorine will be released into the air over 6 months? Assume there are 4 weeks in a month. mass of fluorine leaked over 6 months: 88.578 Incorrect
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
Freon is a type of gas composed of carbon chlorine and fluorine. It is also called as chlorofluorocarbons CFC. This freon is synthesized by using volatile components like methane, ethane, propane etc. This freon is generally used in air coolers to keep environment cool.
