Interpretation:
The reason for the development of chlorofluorocarbons and their uses needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Any substance (or element) consisting of the matter is defined as a chemical. Chlorofluorocarbons do not occur in nature spontaneously. It’s a human made chemical. CFCs were developed (or formed) by industrial chemists.
Answer to Problem 4SSC
CFCs are anthropogenic compounds. It is used as an alternative of refrigerants.
Explanation of Solution
A group of unperfumed manufactured chemicals is Chlorofluorocarbons (or CFCs). Chlorofluorocarbons are anthropogenic compounds. CFCs were developed (or formed) as a safe choice to ammonia, a popular refrigerant.
Uses of CFCs are mentioned below:
- As refrigerants in foams,
- As propellants in various spray cans.
Chlorofluorocarbons human made chemical, used as refrigerants.
