Chapter 8, Problem 81QRT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
CFCs can whether catalyze the destruction of ozone during night time should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC): They are compounds that contain only carbon, fluorine and chlorine with it. They are gases can be easily liquefied, have little ability to react readily, are non-poisonous and do not catch fire easily.
