Question
Chapter 11, Problem 33E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of the ban on CFCs on the average consumer is to be explained.

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. These compounds have major application in the refrigerator and air conditioner industries, as well as electronics industries.
