'Freon' used as refrigerants is chemically known as
chlorinated hydrocarbon
Incorrect Answerfluorinated hydrocarbon
Incorrect Answerchlorofluoro hydrocarbon
Correct Answerfluorinated aromatic compound
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Chlorofluoro carbon (CF 2 Cl 2 ) is also known as freon. It is used as refrigerants in refrigerators and air conditions. It is also used as propellant in aerosols and foams.Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are fully or partly halogenated paraffin hydrocarbons that contain only carbon (C), hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and fluorine (F), produced as volatile derivative of methane, ethane, and propane. They are also commonly known by the DuPont brand name Freon. The most common representative is dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12 or Freon-12). Many CFCs have been widely used as refrigerants, propellants (in aerosol applications), and solvents
