Chapter 11, Problem 32E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

HCFCs and their effects on the ozone layer are to be described.

Concept Introduction:

HCFCs and CFCs are a class of inert compounds of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. They are quite useful for many applications. But the inertness of HCFCs has an environmental effect because of the presence of chlorine, causing ozone-layer depletion. However, due to the presence of hydrogen, they are more reactive and less environmentally degrading than CFCs.
